thanks for your feedback.

no need for box models.

sure - it’s only the definition of the box boundaries I’m interested in when i
wrote ‚box model‘ might have been misleading.

paragraphs and lines
{quote}
Correct spacing between lines is constant. But spacing between paragraphs is
different to spacing between lines. No big deal but has to be taken into
account.

which is done after the text has been composed.
{quote}
Correct.
{quote}
this is not going to be part of your text compositor
{quote}
The ‚block composer‘ (maybe you have a better term for it) will do the text
composition and the placement of the composed text into the box.

> Add block composer to handle multiline text
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2627
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2627
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> In order to generate the appearance for multiline text a *basic* plain text
> block composer needs to be developed.
> Features
> - box model
> - paragraph separation
> - line breaking
> - horizontal and vertical alignment
> - font setting, line height …
> Conceptually it should also include writing mode likely with the only initial
> implementation being lr-tb.
> There should be no new dependencies on projects such as ICU which will limit
> the capabilities but should be acceptable to the needs of form filling.
> To not create the *false* assumption that this is a generic composer it will
> be sub packaged within the (AcroForms) forms package(s).
