IFC is easier to work with, and therefore allows more complex implementations of text-balancing than LFC. In LFC, if we decide to implement `text-wrap: balance`, then it will likely have to be a simple approach, such as a binary search approach that runs line layout in a loop. 1970203 1 webkit-bug-importer 2023-08-08 17:08:04 -0700 <rdar://problem/113595624> 1970206 2 david_choi5 2023-08-08 17:16:42 -0700 Pull request: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/16502 1970208 3 zalan 2023-08-08 17:20:52 -0700 (In reply to David Choi from comment #0) > Given that IFC and LFC are radically different in their treatment of laying > out inline content, there must exist a separate implementation of > `text-wrap: balance` in both codepaths.

Just a small correction; LFC stands for Layout Formatting Context. It is an umbrella project for WebKit's next-gen layout. IFC (Inline Formatting Context) is part of this initiative and it implements CSS inline layout. Legacy line layout is the fallback codepath for content not supported by IFC. 2008601 4 zalan 2024-01-29 12:30:43 -0800 not applicable anymore.
