<flowPara>
The paragraph contains <flowSpan fill="red">spans of text styled
differently</flowSpan> as well as
forced <flowLine/>line breaks. The text flows from one child of the 're­gion'
element to another. This example has three regions, shaped like
the letters 'G', 'O' and '!" respectively.
</flowPara>
<flowPara fill="#707">The text flow algorithm
wraps on spaces if it can
find them, otherwise it will break in the middle
of a word. This is needed for Japanese and
Chinese text where there are no spaces between
words like this:
<!-- <flowSpan xml:lang="ja-JP"
font-family="'MS Gothic', hiragino,
ＭＳ ゴシック,'MS Mincho',ＭＳ 明朝,' Arial Unicode MS'
"
>なぜ、みんな日本語を話してくれないのか？</flowSpan>-->
</flowPara>
<flowPara fill="green">
If you need to implement Japanese
<flowSpan font-style="italic">kinsoku</flowSpan> rules for
line breaking, you will have to insert Unicode zero-width-joiner (zwj)
characters to forbid certain line breaks when generating the text.
</flowPara>
<flowPara fill="blue">Here is a third paragraph. The text is in blue to
show where the second paragraph ends and a third one begins. It will
not win any design awards.</flowPara>
