The layout is done entirely in DOM. The layout engine calculates the line breaks, tracking, expansion, etc. then applies the layout using HTML spans with the appropriate attributes applied. There’s generally one span per line, but that can change for more complicated lines! I invite you to inspect the demo page in your browser’s dev console if you’re particularly curious.
And yes, I did use LLMs for the implementation, both Fable 5 and 5.6 Sol specifically. I would not have been able to achieve anywhere close to the current result unaided. My patience and expertise would’ve been exhausted long before getting anywhere especially interesting.
My philosophy with LLMs is to try to use them to achieve levels of quality and polish that would’ve been previously unreasonable. I hope this project is a demonstration of that.
