John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2627:
-------------------------------------
{quote}
But spacing between paragraphs is different to spacing between lines.
{quote}
Is it really, or is it just the line spacing + the height of a space character?
Either is reasonable.
{quote}
The ‚block composer‘ (maybe you have a better term for it)
{quote}
I would call this "paragraph layout". You're really only dealing with one
parameter: the width of the box (after padding/border has been taken into
account).
> 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).
