//! Word wrapping algorithms. //! //! After a text has been broken into words (or [`Fragment`]s), one //! now has to decide how to break the fragments into lines. The //! simplest algorithm for this is implemented by [`wrap_first_fit`]: //! it uses no look-ahead and simply adds fragments to the line as //! long as they fit. However, this can lead to poor line breaks if a //! large fragment almost-but-not-quite fits on a line. When that //! happens, the fragment is moved to the next line and it will leave //! behind a large gap. A more advanced algorithm, implemented by //! [`wrap_optimal_fit`], will take this into account. The optimal-fit //! algorithm considers all possible line breaks and will attempt to //! minimize the gaps left behind by overly short lines. //! //! While both algorithms run in linear time, the first-fit algorithm //! is about 4 times faster than the optimal-fit algorithm. #[cfg(feature = "smawk")] mod optimal_fit; #[cfg(feature = "smawk")] pub use optimal_fit::{wrap_optimal_fit, OverflowError, Penalties}; use crate::core::{Fragment, Word}; /// Describes how to wrap words into lines. /// /// The simplest approach is to wrap words one word at a time and /// accept the first way of wrapping which fit /// ([`WrapAlgorithm::FirstFit`]).
