Quote:Boustrophedon is a reading- / writing- style that alternates direction every line, and is written with mirrored letters on the 'backward' lines. With a little practice, reading (and writing) can go much faster, as the eye (or hand) does not have to whip back to the margin when the end of a line is reached. One simply goes down a line and continues in the opposite direction.
When the end of a paragraph is reached, the next paragraph should retain the horizontal position of the last one and, if space allows, continues in the same direction. If space can be used more effectively, the next paragraph would continue in the opposite direction.
This program formats the text-files to be read in this manner.
Must adapt.
