Time is urgent, hope to solve it soon, thank you!

Hello! I haven't fully implemented this yet (I just started learning Japanese myself, so I see the importance of this) and while better text rag is planned for STM someday, I won't be able to get that in urgently.

So! As a quick workaround, here's two steps to follow:

First, inside of SuperTextMesh.cs, there's a variable named "linebreakFriendlyChars" declared on line 1106 change that line to this:

private char[] linebreakFriendlyChars = new char[]{' ', '\n', '\t', '-', '\u00AD', '\u200A', '\u200B', '。', '〜', '、', '，', '…', '‥'};

This will allow STM to insert automatic linebreaks at Japanese punctuation, if it's available.

Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the above circumstance where no punctuation happens before the first line break, so the second thing to do is utilize zero-width spaces! They're easy to lose track of, so you can use the tag <u=200B> in STM to insert a zero-width space in a spot where a linebreak is safe to perform. You could also just manually insert a line break with <br> if you want a line break to happen for sure at a certain location.

In the future, I'd love to have STM be able to tell where Japanese words start and stop, but without spaces it's a bit of a challenge... I'd probably have to implement a dictionary function! I'm going to write this down, I think I just thought of a way to make this happen in the future... but for an urgent problem, the above solution will work! The idea I had was... if I implement a dictionary, I could have STM automatically put a zero-width space between every character... but in reality, it'd probably be better to have a script like this run on your entire game's script before it even gets to STM, so a dictionary doesn't need to be parsed every time STM needs to rebuild... Is it possible to run a method like that on your game's script?

Sorry that last paragraph is a bit rambling! I really should be asleep, but I hope this helps!

Hey!

I finally added this as a feature: https://twitter.com/KaiClavier/status/1441149108744454155

I'll be adding this to the next release of STM, which will hopefully be soon! But please let me know if you want a beta version. Sorry it took a year!

congratulations！I found an error when using the previous method, an "ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string. ", in AssemleLeftoverText function. Can you help me solve it or teach me the new method ?

Hello,

The new version of STM has been released! Is this error happening in v1.12.0? If not, please upgrade and let me know if the bug persists, and I'll do my best to fix it!

Yes, I just updated the version yesterday

Please send me a screenshot of the Unity Editor with the full inspector for Super Text Mesh open so I can reproduce the error! I want to see the text and autoWrap values specifically.

Got it! I'll make sure to publish the fix soon, but for now, make these 3 changes to SuperTextMesh,cs:

Line 2947:

deletedChars += closingIndex-i;

Line 3002:

ParseText_info.rawIndex = i + deletedChars + 1;

Line 3861 - put this if statement in front of it:

if(cutoffPosition <= preParsedText.Length)

Thank you! It works very well .

Ran into a similar problem again，When I use Chinese, <u=200B> is truncated，the text is as follows :

希<u=200B>望<u=200B>你<u=200B>赏<u=200B>脸，<u=200B>等<u=200B><c=red><u=200B>玉<u=200B>米<u=200B>争<u=200B>霸<u=200B>赛<u=200B></c><u=200B>为<u=200B>我<u=200B>打<u=200B>开<u=200B>名<u=200B>气，<u=200B><c=red><u=200B>我<u=200B>就<u=200B>能<u=200B>在<u=200B>诺<u=200B>克<u=200B>提<u=200B>斯<u=200B>拥<u=200B>有<u=200B>自<u=200B>己<u=200B>的<u=200B>专<u=200B>卖<u=200B>店<u=200B>了<u=200B>！<u=200B></c><u=200B>这<u=200B>位<u=200B>美<u=200B>丽<u=200B>的<u=200B>小<u=200B>姐，<u=200B>有<u=200B>兴<u=200B>趣<u=200B>参<u=200B>加<u=200B>一<u=200B>下<u=200B>吗<u=200B>？

Inspector as above，Thanks for your help!

Aw darn I thought I caught this with the first two lines of code I changed in the last fix, but I'll see if I can still reproduce this soon!

Okay, I think I've got it. 

Try moving the "ParseText_info.rawIndex = i + deletedChars + 1;" line to happen before the "checkAgain" if statement that currently precedes it. (Around line 2981) It seems to be producing the correct results now.

Doesn't seem to work

Hmm, please send me an email so I can send you a test build, it's possible that there's something I changed without realizing. Sorry for the trouble.

I send the email, thank you.

I use the test build in an empty project, this is the result of my test, I guess I found the pattern.

Every time after a string of <c> characters, the raw Index will be misplaced by 1

Oh! I see now, the tag offset is still wrong... I should be able to fix this, I'll keep trying!

Please try changing this line:

ParseText_info.rawIndex = i + deletedChars + 1;

to this:

ParseText_info.rawIndex = i + deletedChars + allTags.Count +1;

This seems to behave correctly, I just hope I'm not mistaken again.

It works ok, thank you.
