TEXT_LAYOUT_COMMONS

@@ -8 +8 @@
 == Overview ==
 
+The current Hot Layout has several important issues:
+ * It is not known how will hyphenation be integrated with it;
+ * Spell check underlining is not currently possible;
+ * Text links cannot have foreground color;
+ * Pressing "Tab" inserts 4 spaces, instead of a real tab;
+ * Performance issues - Segment layouts could not be cached, which means that their redrawing is very slow.
 
 == Task requirements ==
 
+ * Modify the layout basics, so that:
+  * Tab will be functional;
+  * Future features (hyphenation, spell check, links foreground) will be achievable;
+  * Performance will not degrade. If possible, it should be improved.
+ * In the design section, describe:
+  * What changes will be made to the layout mechanism;
+  * What causes theses changes, what will the effect be;
+ * In the implementation, describe: 
+  * Implementation idea for hyphenation;
+  * Implementation idea for spell check and foreground highlighting.
 
 == Task result ==
 
+Source code, basics for the tasks mentioned.
 
 == Implementation idea ==
+Drop TextLayout, LineBreakMeasurer and AttributedCharacterIterator - use Font instead. This will allow deleting of most of the HotSegmentLayout contents. Several utility methods will also be deleted. Hooray :)

 == How to demo ==
 
+Play around with a text frame - show affine transforms, wrapping modes, chaining, navigation, etc.
