It seems the following function decides where to break within a paragraph: TextMetrics.cpp: pos_type TextMetrics::rowBreakPoint(int width, pit_type const pit, pos_type pos) const
But still, I didn't really figure out how it works...What I'm puzzled about the codes is how it knows the exact breaking point as it iterates to then end of a row width but is still in the middle of a word. Say a word "itshardtowrapaword" is at the end of a line and the position iterator now pointing to 'p'. Then we find we are now at the end of the line, which means the whole words needs to be wrapped. How did the codes achieve that? Becides, I think the problem of Lyx with Chinese is that it view all Chinese characters as just one word so long as no space/newline appears. A main feature of Chinese and Japanese is that they generally don't use any space within words or sentences. So a sentence like "***(Bob 2010)***********" would be treated as two words, "**(Bob" and "2010)***********", thus incorrectly wrapped if the second so-called word is too long. Thanks a lot and looking for more updates from you.
