Hello,
By the way, I wonder if hyphens should count as split characters? The
default iText implementation recognizes '-' (hyphen-minus, \u002D) as a
split character, but this character is commonly used as a minus sign and
since you don't want a negative number to become separated from its
sign, there should be no a break after a '-' character.
So, right now I'm using a slightly modified version of the default
SplitCharacter implementation :
...
// note : '–' is not the same as '-' : this is a dash.
if (c <= ' ' || c == '–') {
return true;
}
...
I've considered making it more universal, but Wikipedia gave me at least
5 different dashes, three hyphens and a minus sign, and I'm afraid the
list is not yet complete.
The Unicode documentation on the matter is not a model of simplicity (
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr14 ) but it contains a
reference algorithm for breaking lines. If I have time, I might try and
implement it in iText, but I'm not sure if it's worth it...
