I got lost in the source, so the whole thing is not clear to me. Anyway, 
all the algorithms seem to work; the rest is application-dependent. The 
only suggestion is to see what is the effect of your text in the 
original context (ie: was it intended to be displayed in a text-mode 
terminal emulator? Or a word processor? Or a printer?).

The "DO" is a pascalism... can not get it out of my mind! -:)
These things happen when using several different languages, and get 
worse with age...

Best wishes for your project, and have a nice day,
