I don't understand what issues you might be thinking of. white-space has effects on wrapping, yes, but text-wrap:balance is just using the wrapping algorithm, *whatever* it is, and choosing different wrap opportunities (as if the box was slightly narrower, generally) than it would otherwise have. If you think there are specific issues that need to be fixed (that don't equally need to be fixed for text-wrap:wrap), could you list them? > Also, as the editor of the spec, I'd also be interested to know if any > specific aspects of the `text-wrap: balance` definition need improving, now > that there's some implementation experience...

I'll let Koji provide more detail, but the only thing I'm aware of is that the "10 lines" limit the spec currently allows for bailing out appears to be too large.

We probably do want some type of control for orphan words, but it's an unrelated problem; *all* of the text-wrap options can want it. Likely it belongs in its own property. ~TJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
