Split regions if they are "split" by a separator

Yes, I wonder what Tesseract is thinking when it does this. Such bad manners!

Technically, what exactly would you propose to do? Calculate the point-set difference of the polygons, and then look at the resulting ~~interior sets~~ multipolygon as a sequence?

[bertsky]

Do you have an example where clipping is not enough to handle this?

[wrznr]

NO. It's just cosmetics.

Yes, that would work.

But there are other issues besides coordinates:

• new IDs (append suffix to both, or just one)
• fix/update reading order (insert at same position, or leave out)
• splitting up existing text content or lines/words
