Text layout engine built on top of HarfBuzz.
Given an input text and formatting options, Balkón produces an inline layout with defined glyph positions and box coordinates, all within a containing unit called a paragraph. See Data.Text.ParagraphLayout.Rich.
Internally, HarfBuzz is used to shape individual runs of text, each of which fits within one line and has a constant script, direction, language, and formatting. Balkón abstracts this so that you can provide text with any mix of these attributes and a desired line width for line breaking.
Additionally, Balkón can be used for breaking an inline layout into pages. See Data.Text.ParagraphLayout.
Balkón
Haskell library built on top of HarfBuzz to lay out text within a paragraph.
Just like flowers on a balcony, text must be arranged carefully within a limited space and put into neat little boxes.
Intended to be the inline layout engine for The Argonaut Stack.
