Single-letter and unit bindings: single-letter case folding · case 03
Capitalised single-letter words at sentence start dangle at line ends.
Case contract
Input [words, width]. A single-letter preposition/conjunction (a i o u v z k s w, any case) is bound to the following word, chaining; a number (digits with optional . or , decimal) is bound to a following unit (kg km cm mm % pt px). Bound groups are unbreakable; greedy fill of groups with unit spaces; an overwide group is set alone. Return 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
