+// LayoutText is the root class for anything that represents
+// a text node (see core/dom/Text.h).
+//
+// This is a common node in the tree so to the limit memory overhead,
+// this class inherits directly from LayoutObject.
+// Also this class is used by both CSS and SVG layouts so LayoutObject
+// was a natural choice.
+//
+// The actual layout of text is handled by the containing inline
+// (LayoutInline) or block (LayoutBlock). They will invoke the Unicode
+// Bidirectional Algorithm to break the text into actual lines.
+// The result of layout is the line box tree, which represents lines
+// on the screen. It is stored into m_firstTextBox and m_lastTextBox.
+// To understand how lines are broken by the bidi algorithm, read e.g.
+// LayoutBlockFlow::layoutInlineChildren.
+//
+//
+// ***** LINE BOXES OWNERSHIP *****
+// m_firstTextBox and m_lastTextBox are not owned by LayoutText
+// but are pointers into the enclosing inline / block (see LayoutInline's
+// and LayoutBlock's m_lineBoxes).
+//
+//
+// This class implements the preferred logical widths computation
+// for its underlying text. The widths are stored into m_minWidth
+// and m_maxWidth. They are computed lazily based on
+// m_preferredLogicalWidthsDirty.
+//
+// The previous comment applies also for painting. See e.g.
+// BlockPainter::paintContents in particular the use of LineBoxListPainter.
