[Pointless-devel] SVG support and line breaking

[Robert P R. <ri...@cs...>]

I just found pointless, and like it a lot! Thanks!

I've made a module for SVG support (using rsvg for rendering). It's
attached. Sorry, though, no automake/autoconf goo included, I'm not
familiar with automake.

I've also attached a patch for the EPS support that adds a new function,
=coloreps to render EPS files in full color (w/ transparent
backgrounds).

Also, I'm running into an oddity with linebreaks in text (in 0.5). I
find that if pointless automatically does linebreaks for me, the text on
the full line gets 'justified' (ie. space added between the words so
that the line fills all horizontal space). But, if I put in breaks
myself with =br, the spacing between words is not expanded. I'd prefer
the latter behavior, but of course I don't want to have to manually
break all of the lines myself. Is there any way I could change this
behavior? (I went and looked at the linebreaking code, but couldn't
figure out why I'm getting the justification effect.)
