Ties and discretionary hyphens: chunk fit comparison · case 03

Chunks that exactly fill the line are wrapped.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input [source, width]. Runs of spaces are one breakable space; "~" is an unbreakable space rendered " "; "\-" is a discretionary hyphen: invisible unless the line breaks there, then rendered "-"; "|" is an invisible break opportunity. Greedy: append the next chunk if the line (without a potential hyphen) fits, else break at that opportunity. Return rendered lines.

Why this case matters

Line breaking decides where paragraphs wrap on screen and in print; a wrong decision point shifts every following line.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: chunk fit comparison	`["ink", "a bc", "url", "path", " url", "path", "10 pt", "word"]`	`["ink a", "bc", "url", "path", " url", "path", "10 pt", "word"]`	Failed
