Pretext side-steps the need for DOM measurements (e.g. getBoundingClientRect, offsetHeight),
which trigger layout reflow, one of the most expensive operations in the browser.
It implements its own text measurement logic, using the browsers' own font engine
as ground truth. This approach allows for incredibly fast multiline text layout
that supports all languages, emojis, and mixed-bidi text.
By using layoutNextLine, we can route text one row at a time even when the
available width changes dynamically. This unlocks 21st-century layouts like
flowing text around irregular shapes, floating obstacles, or creating
custom text-wrapping editors that were previously impossible or
extremely janky with standard CSS.
Move your mouse over the canvas to see the engine recalculate the
line breaks in real-time at 60 frames per second without touching
the DOM once. This is the future of high-performance web typography.
