Hanging-indent list labels: continuation column · case 05

Continuation lines are filled as if they started at column 0.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input [label, words, width, hang]. The label starts at column 0; first-line text starts at column hang when label+1 space fits, else right after label plus one space. Continuation lines are indented by hang. Greedy fill with unit spaces measuring absolute columns. Return padded 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: continuation column	`["(a) kerning", " baseline", " baseline x the x"]`	`["(a) kerning", " baseline", " baseline x", " the x"]`	Failed
