The main challenge in rendering the text into fixed container slides lies in calculating the appropriate points to split the text into pages, so I needed to come up with a strategy for page breaking. My initial idea was to detect the on-screen space occupied by each letter and divide the entire text into an array of page blocks. However, this approach has complications: in fonts that are not `monospaced`, each letter occupies a different amount of space, making it overly complex and inefficient to measure every letter in various fonts and sizes. Therefore, I decided to identify the first word on each new page. To simplify the process, let's temporarily set aside styling elements like headings for a while and imagine a scenario where we deal exclusively with plain text:

I divided the entire text into an array of individual words, rendering each word separately to identify the first word of each new page. Subsequently, I saved the indexes of these first words in an array named `breakpoints`

Now, let's bring back styles. Headings and body text will not share the same line. So, I parsed the input text line by line and converted it into an array of objects like this: ```jsx const contentBlocks = [ { style: "heading": words: ["Prins"] }, { style: "body": words: ["Mijn", "moeder", "is", "zevenenzeventig"] }, ... ... ] ``` As a result of these changes, the breakpoints are updated accordingly:

Given the `breakpoints` consisting of line indexes along with word indexes, it becomes straightforward to write a function that will return a chunk of the array of `contentBlocks` for a given page index. ```tsx type BreakPoint = string // 1:15 type ContentBlock = Array<{ style: string; words: string[] }> function getPageBlocksByBreakPoint(contentBlocks: ContentBlocks, start: BreakPoint, End: BreakPoint): ContentBlocks ``` ### Graph

### Problems Rendering the entire 300-page book directly into the DOM for detecting page breaks would indeed be highly resource-intensive, particularly in terms of memory usage. Therefore, it's essential to optimize the algorithm to address this challenge. Also, resizing the container size, font size, font style, or even a change in the font type, would require re-generating `breakPoints` ### Links [**🔗 See Demo at https://ebook-reader.gegia.dev**](http://ebook-reader.gegia.dev) [**🔗 See GitHub Repository**](https://github.com/shakogegia/ebook-reader)

Shows I watch

Some of the memorable shows worth mentioning. "Friends" is on top of the list, I`ve been a fan of it for a long time and watched it over 100 times.
