TEX line breaking algorithm in JavaScript

TEX line breaking algorithm in JavaScript by Bram Stein.

From the post:

This is an implementation of the Knuth and Plass line breaking algorithm using JavaScript and the HTML5 canvas element. The goal of this implementation is to optimally set justified text in the new HTML5 canvas element, and ultimately provide a library for various line breaking algorithms in JavaScript.

This is very impressive and will reassure your topic map clients that you pay attention to details. Work remains to be done here and elsewhere on browser displays.

This was forwarded to me by Sam Hunting.
