問 71
Incorrectア
Shifting the first character after a line break to the right by a specified number of characters is the indentation feature, and has nothing to do with kinsoku processing, which adjusts forbidden characters at the start and end of lines.
- イ
正解 Kinsoku processing (line-breaking rule enforcement) is a feature that automatically adjusts characters that must not be placed at the start or end of a line. Specifically, punctuation marks, closing brackets, long-vowel marks, and small kana (small “ゃゅょっ”, etc.) are handled so that they do not appear at the start of a line (start-of-line rules), while opening brackets and the like are kept from appearing at the end of a line (end-of-line rules). Choice イ, “a punctuation mark or closing bracket that was about to be placed at the start of a line was moved to the end of the previous line”, is a case of pushing the character back to the end of the previous line to avoid a forbidden character at the line start — exactly the result of kinsoku processing.
Incorrectウ
Converting an alphabetic character at the start of a line from lowercase to uppercase is the autocorrect (auto-correction / auto-capitalization) feature, which changes the type of character rather than its placement. It is not kinsoku processing.
Incorrectエ
Arranging a string of characters at equal intervals within a specified width is the distributed-alignment (justify) feature, a formatting operation to make the appearance uniform. It is a different thing from kinsoku processing, which handles forbidden characters at the start and end of lines.
- Kinsoku processing is a word processing software feature that automatically adjusts text so that punctuation marks, closing brackets, small kana, and the like do not fall at the start of a line (start-of-line rules), and opening brackets and the like do not fall at the end of a line (end-of-line rules).
- Note that it adjusts text by pushing a forbidden character back to the end of the previous line, or pushing it out to the start of the next line — do not confuse this with indentation, autocorrect, or distributed alignment.
