+ <title>How do layout managers get layout managers for the child
+FO nodes?</title>
+
+<para>Child layout managers are created and retrieved in the method
+<literal>AbstractLayoutManager.getChildLM</literal>.</para>
+
+<para>The layout manager has a layout strategy, which has an
+<literal>AddLMVisitor</literal> object, which is responsible for
+creating layout managers for the FO nodes.</para>
+
+<para>The layout manager gets the layout manager for its next child from its
+<literal>LMIter</literal> object <literal>childLMIter</literal>. This
+<literal>LMIter</literal> object contains an iterator over the
+children of the layout manager's FO node. It behaves itself as an
+iterator over the list of layout managers for the children. It
+constructs those layout managers when needed, in its
+<literal>preLoadNext</literal> method. It does so by calling the
+layout strategy's <literal>AddLMVisitor</literal> object's
+<literal>addLayoutManager</literal> method. The
+<literal>LMIter</literal> object gets the layout strategy via the
+current layout manager, which it knows.</para>
+
+<para><literal>AddLMVisitor</literal>'s <literal>addLayoutManager</literal>
+method first registers the LM list in its second argument, i.e. the
+<literal>LMIter</literal> object's LM list, as its own member
+<literal>currentLMlist</literal>. Then it asks the FO node to accept
+it as the <literal>FOTreeVisitor</literal>
+(<literal>acceptVisitor</literal>). The FO node then calls the
+appropriate method of this FO tree visitor, in this case
+(<literal>fo:flow</literal>) the method <literal>serveFlow</literal>
+(<literal>AddLMVisitor.serveFlow</literal>). This method creates a
+<literal>FlowLayoutManager</literal> object and adds it to the
+<literal>currentLMList</literal>. Thus <literal>LMIter</literal> has a
+layout manager for its next child. It returns this layout manager in
+the call to its <literal>next()</literal> method, when the current
+layout manager invokes its <literal>getChildLM</literal> method.</para>
+
+<para>Note that layout manager types may have their own subclass of
+<literal>LMIter</literal>,
+e.g. <literal>BlockLayoutManager$BlockLMiter</literal> and
+<literal>AbstractList$ListItr</literal>, which may implement a
+different method of creating child layout managers.</para>
+
+<para>The method <literal>acceptVisitor</literal> of the FO node calls the
+appropriate method of its visitor. This procedure effectively
+implements an indirect mapping from FO node type to layout
+manager. The indirection allows the <literal>AddLMVisitor</literal>
+object to return its own layout manager for each FO node type. Because
+the <literal>AddLMVisitor</literal> object is part of the layout
+strategy, this indirection allows the layout strategy to provide its
+own layout managers for the layout process. In this manner, a
+different layout strategy can be coupled to the other parts of the
+program.</para>
+
+<para>Note that <literal>AbstractLayoutManager.getChildLM</literal> itself
+does not behave as an iterator. The current child layout manager is
+returned until it is finished. One can safely make multiple calls to
+<literal>getChildLM</literal>. If the current child layout manager is
+unfinished and does nothing in between the calls, it remains
+unfinished, and is returned at every call. If the current child layout
+manager is finished, the next layout manager is loaded, and, because
+it is unfinished, returned at every call. If this is the last child
+layout manager and it is finished, then null is returned because in
+<literal>LMiter.preLoadNext</literal>
+<literal>baseIter.hasNext()</literal> returns false. The latter case
+is used in <literal>BlockLayoutManager.getNextBreakPoss</literal>.</para>

+ <title>Block layout managers and their child layout managers</title>
+
+<para>Block LMs are different in their treatment of their child LMs. For
+this purpose <literal>BlockLayoutManager</literal> defines a nested class <literal>BlockLMiter</literal>,
+which is a subclass of <literal>LMiter</literal>.</para>
+
+<para>A <literal>BlockLMiter</literal> object has a member called proxy,
+which is the basic <literal>LMiter</literal> over the children of the
+block. If the proxy produces a child LM that does not generate inline
+areas, the child LM is added to the list of child LMs as normal. But
+if the childLM generates an inline area, a new
+<literal>LineLayoutManager</literal> object is created
+(<literal>BlockLayoutManager.BlockLMiter.createLineManager</literal>). This
+LM asks the proxy to produce more child LMs. As long as these child
+LMs generate inline areas, they are collected by the
+<literal>LineLayoutManager</literal> object. Finally, the
+<literal>LineLayoutManager</literal> object creates its
+<literal>LMiter</literal> object as the
+<literal>ListIterator</literal> over the list of collected child LMs.</para>

+manager. The whole list is descended again

+<literal>BlockTextInfo</literal>. The <literal>TextInfo</literal>
+object has a reference to the <literal>Font</literal>
+object. <literal>lead</literal> is the font ascender,

+<para>The leading is the difference between
+<literal>lineHeight</literal> and font height = ascender +
+descender. The leading is split in two halves, one for above, the

+calculated as the distance from the baseline to the top of the line,
+the variable <literal>maxtb</literal> is calculated as the distance
+from the baseline to the bottom of the line. The variable
+<literal>middlefollow</literal> set equal to <literal>maxtb</literal>.

+ <title>Line LayoutManager, a sequence of breakposs</title>
+
+<para>The text is: "waterstaatsingenieur ministersportefeuille
+aandachtstrekker. Vernederlandste vakliteratuur" etc. It consists of a
+few long Dutch words, which can be found in the hyphenation exceptions
+in <filename>nl.xml</filename>. The column width is 8cm. This text and
+width have been chosen so that they force many hyphenations.</para>
+
+<para>This text is contained in a single <literal>FOText</literal>
+node, and is dealt with by a single Text LayoutManager, which is a
+child layout manager for the Line LayoutManager. The Text
+LayoutManager maintains a list of area information objects,
+<literal>vecAreaInfo</literal>, and the Line LayoutManager maintains a
+list of breakposs, <literal>vecInlineBreaks</literal>. Each breakposs
+refers to an area, in its <literal>position.iLeafPos</literal>
+member.</para>
+
+<para>During the process of finding suitable line breaks, breakposs
+are generated until one is found that exceeds the line length. Then
+the Line LayoutManager backs up to the previous BP, either to start a
+hyphenation try or to create the line break. When it creates a line
+break, the last breakposs, which exceeds the line length, is not added
+to the list of inline breaks. When it starts a hyphenation try, the
+breakposs is added to that list, and removed again after the text for
+hyphenation has been obtained. Each time, the corresponding area info
+is left in the list of area information objects. As a consequence the
+list <literal>vecAreaInfo</literal> is longer than the list
+<literal>vecInlineBreaks</literal>, and some areas have no
+corresponding breakposs.</para>

+<para>A few remarkable points: <orderedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<simpara>The first AreaInfo object is removed from the list during backing
+ up. This is because the previous BP, which is
+ <literal>null</literal>, does not belong to this child layout
+ manager, and therefore the whole child LM is reset.</simpara>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<simpara>The last BP, no. 18, exceeds the line length, but because it is the
+ first BP of this line, it is accepted for the line break.</simpara>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<simpara>BP 7 at position 29 falls at a point that is not a good hyphenation
+ point. This is probably caused by the fact that for this line only
+ the partial word is subjected to hyphenation. On the previous line
+ the complete word was subjected to hyphenation, and there was no BP
+ at position 29.</simpara>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<simpara>For the word "aandachtstrekker." hyphenation fails
+ (<literal>hyph == null</literal> is returned). This may be due to
+ the period not being separated from the word. When the period is
+ removed, the word is properly broken.</simpara>
