Space toggle switch may be useful for Gurmukhi

[r12a]

Certain older Gurmukhi texts do not contain space characters. This form is known as Larivaar and some website allow you to toggle it as a setting. It might make sense for this to be a transform property on the text, so that way we can preserve the words for line-breaking.

The first comment in this issue contains text that will automatically appear in the Gurmukhi gap-analysis document as a subsection with the same title as this issue. Any edits made to that comment will be immediately available in the document. Proposals for changes or discussion of the content can be made in comments below this point.

Is the expected behavior then that line breaks still occur at word boundaries, or can they occur at any aksara boundary?

Order of priority Word boundary, Sandhi vichchhed, Akshara boundary.

Sandhi is not even considered anywhere in the standards for Indic languages. Moreover, some oversimplification efforts that are limited only to the most popular Devanagari script has also got a lot of akshara conjuncts broken in display by representing with Halant. That practically introduces multiple akshara boundaries in the script whereas it is still an unbreakable unit for a word in the language. This differentiation is lost because the exact same is possible to generate by using ZWNJ.

In short, these can never be done correctly, no matter what is defined within the existing standards.

@kulpreetchilana these were your words. Are you able to offer further details?

Unclear to me what the space toggle switches from/to. ZWSP? Nothing? Something else?
