Hello everyone, I'm looking for an answer to a dilemma I have about text layouting and I was wondering if I might get some thoughts about how that's done in OO Write.
In short, the Unicode Bidi Algorithm requires that reordering of mixed RTL/LTR text runs be done after line breaking. But the line wrapping algorithm needs to know which text runs go first/last on each line in order to compute the line width, because there might be diff. amount of whitespace between runs, so depending on the order of the runs within the line, the line will have a diff. width. Looks like a chicken-egg problem and I can't figure it out. Why is this not a problem in any bidi-enabled text editor? How is that solved in practice?
