Adds text wrapping options ("None" and "Around") to the Table Properties dialog and the table.properties command.

Changes

  • crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs: Updated table.properties parameter spec documentation to include "wrapping"?: "none|around".
  • crates/engine/src/cmd/table/layout.rs:
    • Added "wrapping" and "wrap" to recognised keys and output.
    • Setting "none" clears table floating properties (t.props.float = None), placing it inline.
    • Setting "around" assigns default table floating properties (TableFloat) for top-level body tables, allowing text to wrap around.
    • Setting "around" on nested or non-body tables is rejected (CmdError::Disabled).
    • Sets initial x from props.indent for left-aligned wrapped tables, and updates float.h_align and float.x when table alignment or indent changes later.
  • crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/forms.rs:
    • Added wrapping and can_wrap fields to TableForm.
    • Added "Text wrapping:" radio buttons for None and Around to the Table Properties dialog, disabling Around for nested tables.
  • crates/engine/src/tests.rs: Added unit tests verifying table text wrapping queries, setting to around, undo/redo, setting to none, alias handling, rejection on nested tables, float alignment updates, left indent preservation, and DOCX round-trip.
  • crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs: Added test coverage verifying Table Properties dialog reads and applies table text wrapping changes and disables Around for nested tables.
  • docs/ui-parity.md and ROADMAP.md: Updated parity documentation and progress log.

Closes #5884

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added None and Around text-wrapping options to the Table Properties dialog. Around lets text flow around a floating table; None keeps it inline.
    • Table wrapping can also be set or cleared through table properties, which reports the current wrapping mode. Changes support undo and redo.
    • Table positioning and alignment are maintained when changing related properties or reapplying Around. Around is available only for top-level tables in the document body.
    • Floating-table wrapping settings persist when saving and reopening DOCX files.

Walkthrough

The table.properties command and Table Properties dialog now support None and Around text wrapping. The command reports and updates wrapping through table floating properties. Tests cover command behavior, dialog changes, undo and redo, layout, and DOCX round-trips.

Changes: Table Text Wrapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command wrapping behavior
crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/table/layout.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, ROADMAP.md, docs/ui-parity.md
The table.properties command accepts wrapping and the wrap alias. It accepts none, around, or null, and rejects conflicting aliases or invalid values. none clears float settings. around preserves or initializes float settings, and is unavailable for nested or non-body tables. Alignment, RTL, and indent changes update float positioning. Tests cover queries, validation, undo and redo, layout, and DOCX round-trips. Roadmap and parity records document the change.
Dialog wrapping controls
crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/forms.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs
The Table Properties form reads and emits wrapping when the mode changes and editing is enabled. The dialog adds None and Around radio options. Around is disabled for nested tables. UI tests cover emitted values and floating properties.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

131-140: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Non-string wrapping values are ignored silently.

A value such as true or 5 reaches Some(_) => None. The command returns success and changes nothing. The wrapping key also counts as a recognized key, so the no-settings query path is skipped. Return a CmdError::Params error for unsupported value types. This matches the handling of unknown strings.

Proposed fix

-        Some(_) => None,
+        Some(_) => return Err(CmdError::Params("table text wrapping must be a string or null".into())),

First-pass review notes (automated; combined from specialist angles: maintainability). Please treat as suggestions and verify before acting.

Summary: This pull request adds text wrapping options, "None" and "Around", to the Table Properties dialog and the table.properties command, including support for the wrap alias, reporting of the current mode, and undo/redo support.

Logical units:

  • Engine command handling and documentation in crates/engine/src/cmd/table.rs and crates/engine/src/cmd/table/layout.rs
  • Table Properties dialog UI in crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/forms.rs
  • Engine and UI tests in crates/engine/src/tests.rs and crates/ui-egui/src/tests.rs
  • Documentation updates in docs/ui-parity.md and ROADMAP.md

Findings:

  • [maintainability] crates/engine/src/cmd/table/layout.rs, wrapping="around" handling assigns a default TableFloat unconditionally, discarding existing float settings such as position, alignment, distance from text, and overlap/lock options on an already-floating table, and losing them after a none → around round-trip. Fix: reuse the existing float when present and only create a default when float is None.
  • [maintainability] crates/engine/src/cmd/table/layout.rs, wrapping/wrap alias handling has undefined outcome if both keys are supplied with different values in one call, depending on key iteration order. Fix: give one key documented precedence, or reject conflicting duplicate values.
  • [tests] crates/engine/src/tests.rs covers creating a default float, undo/redo, and invalid values, but not preservation of a pre-existing custom float when around is re-applied or restored after none. Fix: add a characterization test for that case.

Overlaps: None listed.

Verdict: Needs changes. The 3 most important points are: preserve existing float settings when applying around, define handling for conflicting wrapping/wrap values, and add test coverage for custom float preservation.

Something worth considering for compatibility reasons is that by default, Word uses the “None” mode, not “Around”. Whereas the default in WordCraft is “Around”. You may wish to consider changing the default mode for newly-created tables to “none”.

Comment (not an approval). This is well scoped. wrapping/wrap parse safely, and unknown, non-string or conflicting values return a Params error. Around reuses an existing float, and undo/redo is tested. CodeRabbit's input-validation thread is fixed.

One question before approval: nested tables. The around branch in cmd/table/layout.rs (~L195) doesn't check that the table is a top-level body table. The move handle refuses nested tables (table_mouse.rs:280 movable()). So with the caret in a nested table, choosing Around stores a TableFloat, and the DOCX writer emits w:tblpPr for that nested table, which nothing else in the app can create. Please check what Word does: is Text wrapping available for a nested table in Word? Then either reject Around (or disable the radio) unless story == Body && path.len() == 1, with a test, or tell us Word allows it.

Non-blocking:

  • Around sets x=0 and ignores props.indent, so a left-aligned table with an indent shifts left when wrapped. The tests cover only centre and right.
  • Changing align later on a wrapped table leaves the float's h_align unchanged.
  • There is no DOCX round-trip test for a table set to Around.

The branch also conflicts with main in ROADMAP.md (progress log). The gate was still running at 4d8ea4f.

Thanks @benandez!

I checked other software, nested tables cannot float or have text wrapping applied to them—they are locked to inline relative to the containing cell, and the text wrapping choices ("Around") are disabled/greyed out in Table Properties for nested tables.

Updated the branch accordingly:

  1. Nested tables: wrapping: "around" is rejected unless story == Body && path.len() == 1 (CmdError::Disabled), and the Table Properties dialog disables the "Around" radio when !can_wrap. Added tests covering both the command rejection and the dialog form behavior.
  2. Left-aligned indent: Initializing Around on a left-aligned table with props.indent sets float.x = indent so it doesn't shift left. Also changing indent on a left-aligned wrapped table updates float.x.
  3. Changing alignment on wrapped tables: Updating align on a wrapped table now updates float.h_align and position (Center, Right, Left) instead of leaving it stale.
  4. DOCX round-trip: Added a test verifying that tables set to Around round-trip through DOCX with their floating properties intact, and that setting to None round-trips without float.
  5. Rebased: Rebased onto main to resolve the ROADMAP.md conflict.

Extract the repeated first-cell x lookup into a helper.

The same layout().pages[0].items.iter().find_map(...) closure appears six times in this test. Each block also needs a separate assert! with the same 1.0 tolerance. Extract one helper that returns the x position of cell 0 in row 0. Optionally, drive the three alignment cases from a table of (align, indent) inputs, as the table-driven learning recommends. A change to the Placed::Cell shape then needs only one edit.

♻️ Proposed helper

+fn first_cell_x(s: &mut Session) -> f32 {
+    s.layout().pages[0]
+        .items
+        .iter()
+        .find_map(|it| match it {
+            wordcraft_layout::Placed::Cell { rect, row: 0, cell: 0, .. } => Some(rect.x),
+            _ => None,
+        })
+        .unwrap()
+}

Then replace each block, for example:

-    let x_left_none = s.layout().pages[0]
-        .items
-        .iter()
-        .find_map(|it| match it {
-            wordcraft_layout::Placed::Cell { rect, row: 0, cell: 0, .. } => Some(rect.x),
-            _ => None,
-        })
-        .unwrap();
+    let x_left_none = first_cell_x(&mut s);

Based on learnings: in Rust test files, prefer table-driven tests over duplicated near-identical assertions.
