@simmetric simmetric released this 10 Oct 15:18

Support for non-rectangular selections was added. Text can now be wrapped inside selections of any kind as long as it is a concave whole.
In the process, the entire plugin was rewritten. The code is now much clearer.

Bugs fixed

  • The last line always had a superfluous space at the end
