Paragraph

This package picks (close to) optimal points to break a paragraph into lines.

type alias Options =

{ maximumWidth : Int

, optimalWidth : Int

, stringWidth : String -> Int

}

Formatting options

maximumWidth: the maximum width of a line
optimalWidth: the optimal width of a line. Often this is slightly smaller than the maximum width
stringWidth: function that calculates the width of a string. String.length usually gives good results, but other options (based on a font, or something creative) can be used as well.

Note: if a word is longer than the maximum width of a line it is left as-is. The line is broken after the word.

format : Options -> String -> String

Format a string using the given options

The output is one string where the lines are broken with newline \n characters.

lines : Options -> String -> List String

Format a string using the given options, returning the individual lines
