> - parsing words from flow text
Not a problem because I am formatting single words (interminable
chemical names for use as molecule labels in graphics)
> The parsed words have to be normalized
Not an issue either; we can assume US (well, scientific) english.
However I may have to write custom patterns after seeing the results and
becoming more familiar with chemical naming conventions.
- checking up to which possible hyphenation point the word part
fits onto the line.
So that is the job of the line-breaking algorithm, right? I looked at
the layout package but unlike with Hyphenator these classes I could not
figure out how to drive them; they seem written for internal use only.
Is there any howto document anywhere explaining how you can invoke that
machinery explicitely rather than implicitely as part of a FOP
processing job?
BTW feedback for the page is appreciated.
1. This being Java, a comparison with java.text.BreakIterator might be
useful.
2. Since the Javadoc does not provide that information, you might want
to explain on that page what are leftMin, rightMin etc.
3. Maybe a link to Frank Liang's thesis:
