Nice, I would be particularly interested in the conversion from PDF to HTML, and how you handle the word-spacing and line breaking. I've been doing some work on rendering TeX-like data in HTML ( http://www.bramstein.com/projects/typeset/ )

Can anyone recommend a good online accounting application for small businesses in Europe? Most of the ones that are mentioned here are quite USA centric. Tax requirements in Europe are a bit different, which I guess also presents a problem

From what I read, the latter. Like you said, overdoing it quickly makes a text look bad, and it also ruins the (presumably) carefully created kerning tables that are supplied by the font. I assume you have read Hàn Thế Thành's paper on micr

I tried it in Photoshop which since CS2 (or so) has an implementation of the Knuth & Plass algorithm. I found it quite distracting myself. Granted, I was on the lookout for text jumping around and had hyphenation disabled.

There is also a paper that claims linear time for formatting paragraphs using dynamic programming: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.47.3... I haven't really wrapped my head around the paper yet, but I think it only

Hyphenation is definitively on my to-do list. As you said, it will improve the output of the canvas tremendously. The canvas is just a way to show the output of the line breaking algorithm. Earlier I had an example on my website of a dynami

I use the new Canvas Text API, which---I guess---isn't supported by the iPhone. It would be fairly straightforward to make it use the old text API. I chose canvas as an output format for this demonstration, the algorithm itself knows nothin

Not at the moment. Intra character spacing or Microtypography is a bit of a controversial subject among some typographers. Currently I'm leaning towards not doing it. Regardless of that, it would also make the implementation much more compl

Regardless of hyphenation browsers could also do a much better job at implementing line breaking (affecting ragged left, right, centered, and justified text.) I've done some experiments with implementing the Knuth & Plass line breaking
