jquery - break-word on inline-block elements -

-

this may seem odd request, need set width of individual characters , have them act normal text in flowing paragraph. here's example:

http://jsfiddle.net/tgz3k/8/

ugliness aside, fine except fact words being split in half when wrapping. ideas on how work around this?

if change display "inline", wrapping works inline elements can't given width.

using letter-spacing instead of width might suffice, i'd need calculate like:

width = letter-spacing - (actual character width rendered)

but again, getting real width of inline element seems tricky.

the html/text side of things can't modified (e.g. solution such adding manual line breaks , setting css nowrap), it's being sent separate service, processing of needs automated.

note: font must arial, not fixed-width font , need support ie8+

edit: sorry, needs support inner formatting tags, strong or em (example updated). isn't supported in letteringjs, i'm using fork prevent these tags being stripped:

https://github.com/maranomynet/lettering.js/blob/master/jquery.lettering.js

if wrap each word in <span /> element, can set white-space:nowrap on spans , text inside spans won't wrap in middle of word, whole word wrap.

here's example: http://jsfiddle.net/tgz3k/4/

note added js add span elements i'm referring to, used .lettering() method on spans. had update css work properly.

updated js

$('p').html('<span>' + $("p").text().replace(/\s/g, '</span> <span>') + '</span>').children().lettering();

updated css

p span {     white-space:nowrap; }  p span span {     display: inline-block;     width: 10px; }

update

to support nested tags <b /> or <em /> can this:

$('p').html('<span>' + $("p").html().replace(/\s/gi, '</span> <span>').replace(/(<b>|<em>)/gi, '</span>$1<span>').replace(/(<\\b>|<\\em>)/gi, '</span>$1<span>') + '</span>').find("span").lettering();

where opening , closing html tags wrapped in opposing <span /> tags. e.g.

some text

turns into:

</span><b><span>some text</span></b><span>

and old regexp same spaces turns html into:

</span><b><span>some</span> <span>text</span></b><span>

and start our html string opening , end html string closing <span /> tag:

<span></span><b><span>some</span> <span>text</span></b><span></span>

there <span />s created shouldn't mess flow of html.

java - Copying object fields -

-
what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
