            Bug ID: 162422
           Summary: Need ability to have automated line breaking to prefer
                    uniformity over all lines
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

At the moment, the line breaking algorithm for paragraph tries to optimize one
thing: Minimum length, i.e. miniumum number of lines and minimum length of text
on last line.

However, one often wants to optimize a different metric: Minimum number of
lines, but most uniform distribution of words or characters over those lines.

Thus, we would currently prefer:

+-------------------------------------+
| The quick brown fox jumped over the |
| lazy dog.                           |
+-------------------------------------+

over:

+---------------------------+
| The quick brown fox       |
| jumped over the lazy dog. |
+---------------------------+

I would like to be able to format a paragraph to have the line breaking
algorithm prefer the latter over the former. That would be another toggle-able
property in paragraph styles within the ODT, if it's not already in there.
