Multilingual textflow Text flow with Japanese text, and styled spans. The paragraph contains spans of text styled differently as well as forced line breaks. The text flows from one child of the 're­gion' element to another. This example has three regions, shaped like the letters 'G', 'O' and '!" respectively. The text flow algorithm wraps on spaces if it can find them, otherwise it will break in the middle of a word. This is needed for Japanese and Chinese text where there are no spaces between words like this: If you need to implement Japanese kinsoku rules for line breaking, you will have to insert Unicode zero-width-joiner (zwj) characters to forbid certain line breaks when generating the text. Here is a third paragraph. The text is in blue to show where the second paragraph ends and a third one begins. It will not win any design awards.
