Microsoft Office (Win
and Mac) applications ensure that the line breaking is correct for East Asian
Text. ÂFor example, in Microsoft Word, under Options | Asian Typography | First
and Last Characters, you will find the following options for Japanese: Cannot Start Line with: !%),.:;?]}ÂÂââââââããããããããããããããããïïïïïïïïïïïïïïïïï Cannot
End Line with: $([\{ÂÂââããããããïïïïïïï There are slight
variations for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
--- which is respected by Word as well. Han-yi -----Original Message----- Philippe Verdy writes: > From: "Stefan Persson"

Hangul. We've found an amazing amount of variation in where
breaks occur on text live on the web... breaks show up everywhere and
anywhere, to the point where our Japanese morphological analyzer has to
ignore whitespace (horizontal and vertical) in many
situations.(*) There is a JIS standard for line breaking, though I
don't have a copy of it here at home right now. I can look up the
"official" rules tomorrow if people are interested. ÂÂÂ -tree (*) The worst case we've seen was the use of katanana
and hiragana in ÂÂÂ "ASCII" art, Picasso's Guarnica to be
exact. Gave our analyzer a ÂÂÂ real fit for a while. -- Tom EmersonÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
