4. About getNextBreakPoss and the list of child layout managers

Note that the breakpoint may come from a deeply nested child. Each layout manager keeps a reference to its current child layout manager. The whole list is descended again (getChildLM) at the next call to getNextBreakPoss.

Warning

TO BE IMPROVED

Stack of layout managers:

PageSequence
PageLayoutManager
Flow
FlowLayoutManager
Block
BlockLayoutManager
Block
LineLayoutManager
FOText
TextLayoutManager

For BlockLayoutManager and LineLayoutManager Block is the same, but their childLMIter are different: BlockLayoutManager$BlockLMiter vs AbstractList$ListItr

A TextLayoutManager:

    org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.AbstractLayoutManager.bInited: true
}

Text in fo:text is handled by a TextLayoutManager. Two routines add the text and calculate the next possible break.
