[TYPO3-core] RFC Feature #10666: Integrate automatic line breaks in GIFBUILDER

[Oliver Hader]

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10666

Branch: Trunk

Problem:
GIFBUILDER lacks of the possibility to define a maximum rendering width
for a given longer text. The text is just rendered in one single line
but there is not automatic line break.

Solution:
Add the possibility to define a maximum width ("breakWidth") and a
spacing ("breakSpace") after that the text breaks by defined characters
(such as spaces, dots, colons, commas, etc.) and the definition of a
spacing between each line.
The "breakSpace" property works as faktor the line height is multiplied
with. Therefore, the calculations in GIFBUILDER have to support floats.

Notes:
There's a TypoScript test case attached that demonstrates this feature.
There are two commented/disabled lines in the patch that will be removed
before committing.

Documentation changes:
TSref: GIFBUILDER, NOTE (+calc):
Add to first paragraph:
The property "lineHeight" (e.g. "[10.lineHeight]") uses the the height a
single line of text would take.

TSref: GIFBUILDER, [tsref:->GIFBUILDER.(GBObj).TEXT]:
Add new properties after "text":
1) Property: breakWidth
   Data type: integer
   Description: Defines the maximum width for an object, overlapping
   elements will force an automatic line break.

2) Property: breakSpace
   Data type: float
   Description: Defines a value that is multiplied by the line height of
   the current element.
   Default: 1.0
