This is different from what you did in Emacs, which I'd call
line-folding, i.e. cut the line after a paragraph is laid out and
reordered completely as a single (potentially very long) line. This
makes some sense in Emacs, where the basic assumption is that lines
should fit into the width of the view.
Sorry, I don't follow you. There's no such "line-folding" in the
Emacs implementation of the UBA. A line that doesn't fit the window
width is reordered as a whole. Conceptually, reordering is done
before breaking a long line into continuation lines.
This is exactly what I meant. In Emacs, reordering is done before
breaking a long line into smaller segments to fit into the width of the
display window. I called this "line-folding", you call it continuation
lines.
But in the bidi algorithm itself, line breaking (be it automatic due to
a layout algorithm or explicit due to LS or something similar) is
applied *before* reordering. This is very important, because otherwise,
content that is logically earlier may appear on later lines, which would
be very confusing for readers.
