  After  a  short review, it looks non-trivial to me. It involves
white space handling, which has a design review pending, and also
there's this comment in textblock.cc:

  /* NOTE: Most code relies on that all values of nowrap are equal for all
   * words within one line. */

  And  effectively,  the  'nowrap'  value is taken from the first
word of the line:

         ws = words->getRef(line->firstWord)->style->whiteSpace;
         nowrap = ws == core::style::WHITE_SPACE_PRE ||
                  ws == core::style::WHITE_SPACE_NOWRAP;


  Given  this  is  a design issue from long ago (dillo-2.2.1 also
has  it),  and  all the testing/debugging such a change requires,
I'm for leaving this task for the next release.
