![]() ![]() ![]() Back in my typesetting days QuarkXPress had nothing to help with rivers: you had to detect them visually and then "fudge" the paragraph a bit (by forcing a line-break or an hyphenation). The web certainly don't (although with CSS and the "shy" Unicode char you at least get some control on the 'H' part of "H & J"). I don't know if modern typesetting software like InDesign do solve this automatically or not. And then even once you have a great H & J algorithm (Hyphenation and Justification), you have the visual problem of "rivers" (be it text or print): a "river" behind when on one line you have the space between two words nearly matching another space between two words on the next line, then third line, etc. That line-breaking link is really great, I enjoyed it a lot! However it barely scratches the surface: there's no good line-breaking without hyphenation. ![]()
