Artifacts from double line-breaking

[cabo]

Describe the issue

In some cases, the renderer line-breaks some text to an imaginary width; the text renderer then again line-breaks the result of that to the actual width, while the HTML renderer generates HTML with unnecessarily pre-broken lines (and line-broken to the incorrect imaginary width) . In the text rendering this leads to introducing spaces at break points in the middle of the line.
This can be seen in www.open- std.org (note the spurious space) in the [C] reference in 0txt.

The HTML has an unnecessarily early line-break 0html. (A likely related problem can be seen with the datatracker-specific rendering, e.g. at 1.)

The PDF rendering obtained from the author tools looks right, though; this could be a coincidence.

@cabo I think the issue with spaces in breakpoints of text output has been fixed since v3.20.0. EDIT: The following is from xml2rfc 3.20.1:

Can you explain the unnecessary early line breaks in HTML? Because I'm not seeing any. Maybe the whole URL could have moved to the next line.

But that's what I'm seeing now:

And this is a screenshot from the HTML:

You can clearly see the early line break after open-

The -04 renderings linked above apparently were made with 3.20.1, while the -03 ones (which also exhibit these weirdnesses) were made with 3.20.0. Oh, and the U+2028 that I introduced in -04 to work about the missing <br in the <annotation content model appears to be ignored in .TXT but heeded in .HTML.

(Looking at the HTML with Arc Version 1.36.0 (48035), which uses Chromium Engine Version 123.0.6312.87.)

This is how https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-more-control-04.html#C looks like in Safari Version 17.4.1 (19618.1.15.11.14):

Looks similar. Maybe this is indeed an artifact of browser line breaking preferring line-breaking after the hyphen; let's focus on the .TXT weirdness then.

(This is what I get in Safari with a narrow window. Weird.)
