By flowing I understand laying out a paragraph into lines so that you can fit a maximum number of words per line, according to the font specified and destination region width.
One of your Phrase examples says "if you don't add a newline yourself, all phrases are glued to each other", so how does a Phrase take a newline as whitespace, if including newlines can be used to "separate" Phrases? Let's make this a little clearer: I have a Chunk with a newline in the middle of it (the second line could fit entirely to the side of the first line). You're saying that if I put this Chunk inside of a Phrase, it will be layed out as a single line instead of as two separate lines when I put it in a Paragraph? (And that if the second source line would be a little longer, the split point would be calculated by iText, instead of using the provided newline?)

A Paragraph is the same as a Phrase, except for indentation and the addition of a newline. So if you use a Phrase instead of a Paragraph, the whitespace will coalesce and newline will be whitespace.
