Almost but not exactly... :)
Let me try to clarify. Indeed, something is missing from the reasoning.
A] Let's say that a paragraph "P" is a sequence of "n" lines "L1", "L2",
..., "Ln" like for example:
L1: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
L2: consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
...
Ln: Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi
ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat
B] Let's choose a minimum indentation "Imin" and a maximum indentation
"Imax" for P.
C] Let's say that "w" is the width of the page.
w
<----------------------------------------->
+-----------------------------------------+ Page
| <--> would be Imin |
| <--------------> would be Imax |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Then four cases are possible.
Case 1)
All the lines are short enough to be indented using the largest indentation
possible Imax.
P indentation is Imax.
+-----------------------------------------+
| <--------------> Imax |
| |
| | P:
| <--------------> Lorem ipsum | L1
| <--------------> Ut enim | L2
| <--------------> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Case 2)
The largest line length is "wk" > (w - Imax).
P indentation is wk.
+-----------------------------------------+
| <--------------> Imax |
| <-------> wk |
| |
| | P:
| <-------> Lorem ipsum | L1
| <-------> Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem qu | L2
| <-------> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Case 3)
The largest line length is exactly (w - Imin).
The paragraph indentation is Imin.
(No line is cut.)
+-----------------------------------------+
| <--> Imin |
| |
| | P:
| <--> Lorem ipsum | L1
| <--> sed quia non numquam eius modi tem | L2
| <--> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Case 4)
At least one of the lines length is wk > (w - Imin).
This line (and maybe some others) has to be cut.
P indentation is Imin.
+-----------------------------------------+
| <--> Imin |
| |
| |
| | P:
| <--> Lorem ipsum | L1
| <--> sed quia non numquam eius modi tem | L2
| <--> consectetur adipisicing elit, sed | L3
| <--> do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut |
| <--> labore et dolore magna aliqua. |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Here it is... is it a little bit clearer :/?
Thank you for helping me :).
Best regards.
