Working With Word, Script, and Line Boundaries
This section describes the text routines that you can use to edit and display formatted text. These functions all take into account script and language considerations, making use of tables in the string-manipulation ('itl2') resource in their computations.
- The
FindWordBreaksprocedure determines the beginning and ending boundaries of a word in a text string.- The
StyledLineBreakfunction determines the proper location at which to break a line of text that may contain multiple script runs, breaking it on a word boundary
if possible.- The
FindScriptRunfunction finds the next boundary between main text and a specified subscript within a script run.
