------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 27 06:31:28 +0000 2007 ------- Hmmm... Let me see if I can translate this into a few simple rules. These rules apply only for word-wrap and not hard returns (new paragraph) or soft returns (line-break within a paragraph). #1a. When the view pane is the same size or larger than the text area, show all characters unless they fall outside the view pane. In this case always show the cursor even if it's at the edge of the view pane (make sure it's visible). For purposes of "Page Layout" the view pane does not include the gray area, which is not part of the page. #1b. When the view pane is smaller than the text area, do what you do now: crop the characters and the cursor as required. #2a. Except for the pilcrow (see 2b) allow only spaces outside the text zone and in the margin. -- Note, treat non-breaking spaces as ordinary characters. #2b. The pilcrow character may intrude one "unit" (it's own width) into the margin. -- Note, between rule 2a and 2b the cursor could end up in the margin. When followed by a space this is acceptable. -- Note 2, the intent of rules 2a and 2b is to define where the cursor may go via the character that follows it, rather than the cursor itself. #3. Keep the cursor "glued" to the character that follows it (could be any character including the pilcrow). -- The effect of this rule is to control when the cursor snaps down to the next line. #4. Do not put spaces at the beginning of a line (that is a word-wrapped line). -- Rather, pile them up at the end of the previous line. #5. A "word" is a unit of characters delimited by spaces, tabs, hard returns, or soft returns (either side); or a hyphen, soft hyphen, en-dash, or em-dash (proceeding the word only). Example: "long-life" is two words, "long-" and "life". Also "hyphen," can be a word too (with the punctuation attached). A "word" does not include the spaces, tabs, etc., but will include the hyphen, soft hyphen, en-dash, and em-dash. -- This is not the same definition used for counting words. -- Question, do we allow a non-breaking hyphen (a third type of hyphen)? If so, treat it like an ordinary character. #6. Do not allow any part of a word to protrude out of the text zone and into the margins. If it does, snap the word down to the next line. #7. The soft hyphen should remain collapsed (zero width) unless it is at the end of a line. If expanding the soft hyphen causes it to protrude into the margin then snap it and the attached word down to the next line (and re-collapse the soft hyphen when it "bumps" into its trailing word again). #8. I can't think of a number 8. Is there anything I missed? -- Maybe define the behavior when a word is wider than the text area. Unfortunately, I don't know a lick of Java. I suppose I should learn, in fact I kinda want to, but I've been struggling to learn this other object-oriented language. I think years of Verilog have ruined my brain for groking O-O principles. I'll get there someday. On the bright side, I do get procedural languages. I'll do what I can to help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
