782+ <p> In some other writing systems,
783+ <a>soft wrap opportunities</a> are based on orthographic syllable boundaries,
784+ not word boundaries.
785+ Some of these systems, such as Javanese and Balinese,
786+ are similar to Thai and Lao in that they
787+ require analysis of the text to find breaking opportunities.
788+ In others such as Chinese (as well as Japanese, Yi, and sometimes also Korean),
789+ each syllable tends to correspond to a single <a>typographic letter unit</a> ,
790+ and thus line breaking conventions allow the line to break
791+ anywhere <em> except</em> between certain character combinations.
792+ Additionally the level of strictness in these restrictions
793+ varies with the typesetting style.
