--- Comment #7 from Andreas L. Delmelle <[email protected]> 2011-03-21 15:27:29 EDT --- Thinking more about a possible fix, I am suddenly asking myself why we would even fiddle with the demerits at all to balance columns. Playing with the demerits alone is not enough to make a break more/less favorable. Ultimately, the adjustment ratio is a deciding factor too, and that is based on the difference between available width and the width of the line. Since the algorithm works with the full bpd of the page as line-width, this is bound to cause the algorithm to 'ignore' the better demerits at some points. In a way, that feels like we could handle column-balancing better by (also) forcing the available line-width down to the minimal width needed by the content (i.e. taking into account pieces that must be kept together within the same column). -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
