Description
Motivation
Existing online crate documentation mostly follows CSS specification: CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3, part 2, Inline Layout Model. But this is very high level overview. I belie that a number of important details should be explained for newcomers to web technologies domain.
Lets add documentation on such things as:
- Box tree and Inline Formatting Context construction
- Bidi processing and reordering
- Text shaping
- Line breaking #76
- Fragments generation #77

Research direction
Start with the online inline layout crate documentation and the CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3 model section linked in the issue. Map the existing high-level material against the requested topics: box tree and inline formatting context construction, bidi processing, text shaping, line breaking, and fragment generation. Done means these newcomer-focused details are documented, while issues #76 and #77 identify separate line-breaking and fragment work.
