+# Spec: Documentation Improvement
+
+## Summary
+Restructure and enhance documentation for `emacs-kp`. Separate User Guide from Developer Documentation to improve readability for both audiences. Provide in-depth API reference for developers.
+
+## Goals
+1.  **Separation of Concerns**: `readme.md` for users, `DEVELOPER.md` for contributors.
+2.  **Completeness**:
+    - Users: Clear installation, configuration, and feature overview.
+    - Developers: Comprehensive API reference for both Elisp and C layers, architecture diagrams, data structure definitions.
+3.  **Bilingual Support**: Maintain parity between English and Chinese documentation.
+
+## Non-Goals
+- Changing the code or functionality of `emacs-kp`.
+- Adding new tutorials (beyond basic usage).
+
+## User Flows
+- **User**: Lands on repo -> Reads `readme.md` -> Installs & Configures -> Uses package.
+- **Contributor**: Lands on repo -> Sees "Developer Guide" link -> Reads `DEVELOPER.md` -> Understands internals -> Submits PR.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+1.  `DEVELOPER.md` and `DEVELOPER_ZH.md` exist and contain:
+    - Architecture overview.
+    - Elisp Core API (`ekp-pixel-justify`, parameters, etc.).
+    - Data Structures (`ekp-para`, `ekp-box`, etc.).
+    - C Module details (API, build, memory model).
+2.  `readme.md` and `readme_zh.md` are cleaned up:
+    - No C implementation details (moved to Dev guide).
+    - Clearer "Quick Start" and "Configuration".
+3.  No broken links between documents.

+
+## 2. Elisp Core (ekp.el)
+
+### Data Structures
+
+#### `ekp-para` Struct
+
+The central data structure is `ekp-para`, which represents a preprocessed paragraph. It is cached to avoid re-tokenizing and re-measuring text.
+
+```elisp
+(cl-defstruct ekp-para
+  string           ; Original text with properties
+  latin-font       ; Detected Latin font
+  cjk-font         ; Detected CJK font
+  boxes            ; Vector of box strings
+  boxes-widths     ; Vector of box pixel widths
+  boxes-types      ; Vector of (start-type . end-type)
+  glues-types      ; Vector of glue type symbols (lws, mws, cws, nws)
+  hyphen-pixel     ; Width of hyphen character
+  hyphen-positions ; Vector of hyphenable box indices
+  ideal-prefixs    ; Prefix sum: ideal widths (for O(1) width calc)
+  min-prefixs      ; Prefix sum: minimum widths
+  max-prefixs      ; Prefix sum: maximum widths
+  dp-cache)        ; Hash table: line-pixel → DP result
+```
+
+#### Glue Types
+- `lws`: Latin Word Space (between Latin words)
+- `mws`: Mixed Word Space (between Latin and CJK)
+- `cws`: CJK Word Space (between CJK chars)
+- `nws`: No Word Space (fixed)
+
+### Core Functions
+
+#### `(ekp-pixel-justify STRING LINE-PIXEL)`
+Justifies `STRING` to `LINE-PIXEL` width.
+1. Checks cache for existing `ekp-para`.
+2. If miss, creates `ekp-para` (tokenize, measure, hyphenate).
+3. Calls DP engine (Elisp or C) to get breaks.
+4. Renders result using display properties (specifically `space` display property for glues).
+
+#### `(ekp-pixel-range-justify STRING MIN-PIXEL MAX-PIXEL)`
+Finds the "best" width within a range. Uses ternary search (O(log n)) to minimize demerits. Useful for finding the optimal width for a specific paragraph.
+
+#### `(ekp-param-set ...)`
+Sets the 9 spacing parameters (Ideal/Stretch/Shrink for LWS/MWS/CWS).
+
+## 3. C Dynamic Module (ekp_c)
+
+For large texts, the C module provides ~20x speedup by parallelizing the O(n²) Dynamic Programming phase.
+
+### Source Structure
+- `ekp_c/ekp.c`: Emacs module entry point.
+- `ekp_c/ekp_kp.c`: The Knuth-Plass algorithm implementation.
+- `ekp_c/ekp_thread_pool.c`: Worker thread pool.
+- `ekp_c/ekp_hyphen.c`: Liang's hyphenation algorithm.
+
+### C API (exposed to Elisp)
+
+#### `(ekp-c-init)`
+Initializes the module and thread pool.
+
+#### `(ekp-c-break-with-prefixes ...)`
+The low-level DP function. It takes flat arrays (pointers) from Elisp:
+- Prefix sums (ideal, min, max)
+- Glue parameters per box
+- Hyphen positions
+- Target line width
+
+It returns a list of break indices and total cost.
+
+### Memory Model
+- **Zero Copy**: Elisp passes pointers to vector data directly to C.
+- **Flat Arrays**: Data is structured as parallel arrays for cache efficiency.
+- **Thread Safety**: The module uses a fixed thread pool. The DP algorithm uses a wavefront pattern for parallelizing the inner loop.
+
+## 4. Algorithm Details
+
+### The Knuth-Plass Algorithm
+Based on the 1981 paper "Breaking Paragraphs into Lines".
+
+**Cost Function (Demerits):**
+`D = (LinePenalty + Badness)² + Penalty²`
+
+**Badness:**
+`100 * |Adjustment / Flexibility|³`
+
+### CJK Extensions
+- **Boxes**: Each CJK character is a separate box.
+- **Glues**: Specific glue types for CJK-CJK and CJK-Latin transitions allow fine-tuning spacing (e.g., adding slight breathing room between English and Chinese).
+
+### Hyphenation
+Uses Frank Liang's algorithm (standard in TeX).
+- Patterns are loaded from `dictionaries/*.dic`.
+- `ekp-hyphen.el` handles this in pure Elisp.
+- C module has its own implementation (`ekp_hyphen.c`) for speed if needed, though currently Elisp handles tokenization.

+
+## 2. Elisp 核心 (ekp.el)
+
+### 数据结构
+
+#### `ekp-para` 结构体
+
+核心数据结构是 `ekp-para`，代表预处理后的段落。它被缓存以避免重复分词和测量。
+
+```elisp
+(cl-defstruct ekp-para
+  string           ; 带有属性的原始文本
+  latin-font       ; 检测到的拉丁字体
+  cjk-font         ; 检测到的 CJK 字体
+  boxes            ; Box 字符串向量
+  boxes-widths     ; Box 像素宽度向量
+  boxes-types      ; 类型向量 (start-type . end-type)
+  glues-types      ; 胶水类型符号向量 (lws, mws, cws, nws)
+  hyphen-pixel     ; 连字符宽度
+  hyphen-positions ; 可断词 Box 索引向量
+  ideal-prefixs    ; 前缀和：理想宽度 (用于 O(1) 宽度计算)
+  min-prefixs      ; 前缀和：最小宽度
+  max-prefixs      ; 前缀和：最大宽度
+  dp-cache)        ; 哈希表：行宽像素 → DP 结果
+```
+
+#### 胶水类型 (Glue Types)
+- `lws` (Latin Word Space): 拉丁词间距
+- `mws` (Mixed Word Space): 中西文间距
+- `cws` (CJK Word Space): CJK 字符间距
+- `nws` (No Word Space): 固定间距
+
+### 核心函数
+
+#### `(ekp-pixel-justify STRING LINE-PIXEL)`
+将 `STRING` 按 `LINE-PIXEL` 宽度对齐。
+1. 检查缓存中是否有对应的 `ekp-para`。
+2. 若未命中，创建 `ekp-para`（分词、测量、断词处理）。
+3. 调用 DP 引擎（Elisp 或 C）计算断点。
+4. 使用 display 属性（特别是 `space` 属性）渲染结果。
+
+#### `(ekp-pixel-range-justify STRING MIN-PIXEL MAX-PIXEL)`
+在范围内寻找“最佳”宽度。使用三分搜索 (O(log n)) 最小化 demerits。用于自动寻找最适合该段落的宽度。
+
+#### `(ekp-param-set ...)`
+设置 9 个间距参数（LWS/MWS/CWS 的 Ideal/Stretch/Shrink）。
+
+## 3. C 动态模块 (ekp_c)
+
+对于长文本，C 模块通过并行化 O(n²) 动态规划阶段提供约 20 倍的加速。
+
+### 源码结构
+- `ekp_c/ekp.c`: Emacs 模块入口点。
+- `ekp_c/ekp_kp.c`: Knuth-Plass 算法实现。
+- `ekp_c/ekp_thread_pool.c`: 工作线程池。
+- `ekp_c/ekp_hyphen.c`: Liang 断词算法。
+
+### C API (暴露给 Elisp)
+
+#### `(ekp-c-init)`
+初始化模块和线程池。
+
+#### `(ekp-c-break-with-prefixes ...)`
+底层 DP 函数。它接收来自 Elisp 的扁平数组（指针）：
+- 前缀和数组 (ideal, min, max)
+- 每个 Box 的胶水参数
+- 连字符位置
+- 目标行宽
+
+返回断点索引列表和总代价。
+
+### 内存模型
+- **零拷贝 (Zero Copy)**: Elisp 直接将向量数据的指针传递给 C。
+- **扁平数组**: 数据结构为并行数组，提高缓存效率。
+- **线程安全**: 模块使用固定线程池。DP 算法采用波前模式 (Wavefront) 并行化内部循环。
+
+## 4. 算法细节
+
+### Knuth-Plass 算法
+基于 1981 年论文 "Breaking Paragraphs into Lines"。
+
+**代价函数 (Demerits):**
+`D = (LinePenalty + Badness)² + Penalty²`
+
+**劣度 (Badness):**
+`100 * |Adjustment / Flexibility|³`
+
+### CJK 扩展
+- **Boxes**: 每个 CJK 字符视为一个独立的 Box。
+- **Glues**: 针对 CJK-CJK 和 CJK-Latin 的特定胶水类型允许精细调整间距（例如在汉字和英文之间增加微小的空隙）。
+
+### 断词 (Hyphenation)
+使用 Frank Liang 算法（TeX 标准）。
+- 模式从 `dictionaries/*.dic` 加载。
+- `ekp-hyphen.el` 在纯 Elisp 中处理。
+- C 模块有自己的实现 (`ekp_hyphen.c`)，目前主要由 Elisp 负责分词。

+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cd ekp_c
+make
+```
+
+Requirements:
+- C11 compiler (clang, gcc)
+- Emacs with dynamic module support (27.1+)
+- pthread library
+
+### Build Options
+
+```bash
+make DEBUG=1    # Debug build with sanitizers
+make clean      # Remove build artifacts
+make info       # Show build configuration
+make test       # Run basic tests in Emacs
+```
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+### 1. Multi-threaded Processing
+- 8-thread pool for parallel DP candidate evaluation
+- Wavefront parallelization for large paragraphs (>100 boxes)
+- Lock-free work queue with condition variables
+
+### 2. O(1) Range Queries
+- Prefix sum arrays for ideal/min/max line widths
+- Eliminates repeated summation in inner DP loop
+
+### 3. Fast Hyphenation
+- FNV-1a hash for O(1) pattern lookup
+- Thread-safe LRU cache (4096 entries)
+- Read-write locks for concurrent access
+
+### 4. Memory Layout
+- Flat, cache-friendly data structures
+- Parallel arrays for boxes, glues, widths
+- Minimal allocations in hot paths
+
+## API
+
+### Initialization
+
+```elisp
+(ekp-c-init)           ; Initialize module with thread pool
+(ekp-c-cleanup)        ; Release all resources
+(ekp-c-version)        ; => "1.0"
+(ekp-c-thread-count)   ; => 8
+```
+
+### Hyphenation
+
+```elisp
+(ekp-c-load-hyphenator "/path/to/hyph_en_US.dic")  ; => 0 (index)
+(ekp-c-hyphenate 0 "hyphenation")                  ; => (2 5 7)
+```
+
+### Line Breaking
+
+```elisp
+(ekp-c-break-lines
+  "Your paragraph text here"
+  0                                    ; hyphenator index
+  600                                  ; line width in pixels
+  #'string-pixel-width)                ; measurement function
+
+;; Returns: ((breaks...) . total-cost)
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+```elisp
+;; Spacing: (lws-i lws+ lws- mws-i mws+ mws- cws-i cws+ cws-)
+(ekp-c-set-spacing 7 3 2 5 2 1 0 2 0)
+
+;; Penalties: (line-penalty hyphen-penalty fitness-penalty last-line-ratio)
+(ekp-c-set-penalties 10 50 100 0.5)
+```
+
+## Design Notes
+
+Following Linus's philosophy:
+
+1. **Data structures are the code** - Get box/glue layout right, algorithm follows naturally
+2. **Simple thread model** - Fixed pool, no dynamic thread creation in hot path
+3. **Minimal abstraction** - Direct array access, no virtual dispatch
+4. **Fail fast** - Return NULL/nil on errors, let Emacs handle it
+
+## Benchmark
+
+Typical speedup vs pure Elisp implementation:
+
+| Paragraph Size | Elisp | C Module | Speedup |
+|----------------|-------|----------|---------|
+| 100 chars      | 5ms   | 0.3ms    | 16x     |
+| 500 chars      | 45ms  | 2ms      | 22x     |
+| 2000 chars     | 350ms | 12ms     | 29x     |
+
+*Note: Actual performance depends on CPU, Emacs version, and text characteristics.*

 # Emacs-KP: Knuth-Plass Line Breaking for Emacs

+[中文文档](./readme_zh.md) | [Developer Guide](./DEVELOPER.md)
+
 Emacs-kp implements the Knuth-Plass optimal line breaking algorithm with full support for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and Latin mixed text typesetting.

 ## Demo

-![ekp-demo](./images/ekp-demo-with-cache.gif)

-## Algorithm Overview
+## Features

-### The Knuth-Plass Algorithm
+- **Optimal Line Breaking**: Uses Knuth-Plass algorithm for globally optimal paragraph layout.
+- **CJK Support**: Full support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean with mixed Latin text.
+- **Hyphenation**: Frank Liang's algorithm with language-specific dictionaries.
+- **Text Properties Preserved**: Font faces, colors, and other Emacs text properties are maintained.
+- **C Module Acceleration**: Optional multi-threaded C module for 16-29x speedup.
+- **Automatic Font Handling**: Spacing parameters computed from actual font metrics.

-The algorithm is based on the seminal 1981 paper ["Breaking Paragraphs into Lines"](https://gwern.net/doc/design/typography/tex/1981-knuth.pdf) by Donald Knuth and Michael Plass. Unlike greedy line-breaking (used by most text editors), K-P considers **all possible breakpoints** simultaneously to find the globally optimal solution.
+---

-#### Core Concepts
+## User Guide

-**1. Boxes, Glue, and Penalties**
+### Quick Start

-Text is modeled as a sequence of three elements:
- **Box**: Indivisible content (characters, words) with fixed width
- **Glue**: Flexible space with ideal width, stretchability, and shrinkability
- **Penalty**: Cost for breaking at specific points (e.g., hyphenation)
+1. **Install Dependencies**:
+   Ensure you have a C compiler if you plan to use the C module (recommended for performance).

+2. **Configuration**:
+
+```elisp
+(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/emacs-kp")
+(require 'ekp)
+
+;; Basic usage: justify text to 600 pixels width
+(ekp-pixel-justify "Your paragraph text here..." 600)
+
+;; Find optimal width in a range (returns (text . optimal-width))
+(ekp-pixel-range-justify "Your text" 400 800)
 ```
-┌─────┐      ┌─────┐      ┌─────┐
-│ Box │─Glue─│ Box │─Glue─│ Box │
-└─────┘      └─────┘      └─────┘
-  word      (flexible)      word
-```
-
-**2. Badness: Measuring Line Quality**
-
-Each line's quality is measured by how much glue must stretch/shrink:
-
-```
-            ⎧ 0                        if adjustment = 0
-badness =   ⎨ ∞                        if impossible to fit
-            ⎩ 100 × |adjustment/flexibility|³
-```
-
- `adjustment` = target_width - natural_width
- `flexibility` = total stretchability (if stretching) or shrinkability (if shrinking)
-
-**3. Demerits: Ranking Break Sequences**
-
-Demerits combine badness with penalties to rank entire paragraph layouts:
-
-```
-demerits = (line_penalty + badness)² + penalty² + fitness_penalty
-```
-
-Where:
- `line_penalty`: Base cost per line (default: 10)
- `penalty`: Break-specific cost (hyphenation: 50)
- `fitness_penalty`: Extra cost when adjacent lines differ significantly in tightness
-
-**4. Fitness Classes**
-
-Lines are classified by tightness to ensure visual consistency:
- Class 0: Tight (significantly shrunk)
- Class 1: Decent (close to ideal)
- Class 2: Loose (stretched)
- Class 3: Very loose (significantly stretched)
-
-Adjacent lines differing by more than one class incur additional penalty.
-
-**5. Dynamic Programming**
-
-The algorithm uses DP to find the minimum-demerits path through all valid breakpoints:
-
-```
-dp[k] = min over all valid i < k {
-    dp[i] + demerits(line from i to k)
-}
-```
-
-Time complexity: O(n²) where n = number of potential breakpoints.
-
-### CJK Extensions
-
-Emacs-kp extends the original algorithm for CJK text:
-
-1. **Character-level breaking**: CJK text can break between any characters
-2. **Mixed spacing**: Three glue types for Latin-Latin, Latin-CJK, and CJK-CJK gaps
-3. **Punctuation handling**: CJK punctuation attaches to adjacent characters
-
-### Hyphenation
-
-Latin word hyphenation uses Frank Liang's algorithm (TeX's hyphenation):
- Pattern-based approach with priority values
- Language-specific dictionaries (en_US, de_DE, fr, etc.)
- Configurable minimum characters before/after breaks
-
-## Limitations
-
-Currently supports CJK mixed with **one** Latin language only. Multi-Latin-language mixing is not supported because the system cannot reliably determine which language a word belongs to for hyphenation.
-
-## Usage

-### Core Functions
+### C Dynamic Module (Recommended)
+
+For large texts, the optional C module provides significant performance improvement through multi-threaded parallel computation.
+
+#### Building
+
+```bash
+cd ekp_c
+make
+```
+*Requirements: C11 compiler, Emacs 27.1+*
+
+#### Loading

 ```elisp
-(ekp-pixel-justify string line-pixel)
+(require 'ekp-utils)
+
+;; Load and initialize C module
+(ekp-c-module-load)
+
+;; Optional: Load hyphenation dictionary for C module
+(ekp-c-load-dictionary "en_US")
 ```
-Justify STRING to LINE-PIXEL width per line. Returns formatted text.

-```elisp
-(ekp-pixel-range-justify string min-pixel max-pixel)
-```
-Find optimal width in [MIN-PIXEL, MAX-PIXEL] range using ternary search.
-Returns `(formatted-text . optimal-pixel)`.
+Once loaded, `ekp-use-c-module` defaults to `t`, and all justification functions will automatically use the C module.

-Note: Uses O(log n) ternary search with aggressive caching.
+---

-```elisp
-(ekp-clear-caches)
-```
-Clear all paragraph caches.

 # Emacs-KP: Knuth-Plass 排版算法 Emacs 实现

+[English Documentation](./readme.md) | [开发者指南](./DEVELOPER_ZH.md)
+
 Emacs-kp 实现了 Knuth-Plass 最优断行算法，并扩展支持 CJK（中日韩）与拉丁文混合排版。

 ## 演示

-![ekp-demo](./images/ekp-demo-with-cache.gif)

-## 算法原理
+## 特性

-### Knuth-Plass 算法
+- **全局最优断行**：使用 Knuth-Plass 算法寻找段落的全局最优布局。
+- **CJK 支持**：完美支持中日韩与拉丁文的混合排版。
+- **连字符断词**：使用 Frank Liang 算法和特定语言词典。
+- **属性保留**：排版后保留字体、颜色等所有 Emacs 文本属性。
+- **C 模块加速**：可选的多线程 C 模块提供 16-29 倍性能提升。
+- **自动字体处理**：根据实际字体度量自动计算间距参数。

-本算法基于 Donald Knuth 和 Michael Plass 于 1981 年发表的经典论文 ["Breaking Paragraphs into Lines"](https://gwern.net/doc/design/typography/tex/1981-knuth.pdf)。与大多数文本编辑器使用的贪心断行不同，K-P 算法**同时考虑所有可能的断点**，寻找全局最优解。
+---

-#### 核心概念
+## 用户指南

-**1. Box（盒子）、Glue（胶水）、Penalty（惩罚）**
+### 快速开始

-文本被建模为三种元素的序列：
- **Box**：不可分割的内容（字符、单词），具有固定宽度
- **Glue**：弹性空白，具有理想宽度、可拉伸量、可压缩量
- **Penalty**：在特定位置断行的代价（如连字符断词）
+1. **安装依赖**：
+   建议安装 C 编译器以构建高性能模块。

-```
-┌─────┐      ┌─────┐      ┌─────┐
-│ Box │─Glue─│ Box │─Glue─│ Box │
-└─────┘      └─────┘      └─────┘
- 单词     (弹性空白)    单词
+2. **配置与使用**：
+
+```elisp
+(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/emacs-kp")
+(require 'ekp)
+
+;; 基本用法：将文本按 600 像素宽度对齐
+(ekp-pixel-justify "这是一段测试文本..." 600)
+
+;; 范围对齐：寻找 400-800 像素范围内的最优宽度
+(ekp-pixel-range-justify "测试文本" 400 800)
 ```

-**2. Badness（劣度）：衡量行的质量**
+### 配置详情

-每行的质量由 glue 需要拉伸/压缩的程度来衡量：
+#### 语言设置

-```
-            ⎧ 0                           若 adjustment = 0
-badness =   ⎨ ∞                           若无法容纳
-            ⎩ 100 × |adjustment/flexibility|³
+**`ekp-latin-lang`** (默认: `"en_US"`)
+
+用于断词的主要拉丁语言。支持的语言位于 `dictionaries/` 目录：
+- `en_US`, `en_GB` - 英语
+- `de_DE` - 德语
+- `fr` - 法语
+- `es` - 西班牙语
+- 等等...
+
+```elisp
+(setq ekp-latin-lang "de_DE")
 ```

- `adjustment` = 目标宽度 - 自然宽度
- `flexibility` = 可拉伸总量（拉伸时）或可压缩总量（压缩时）
+#### 间距参数

-**3. Demerits（缺陷值）：评估断行序列**
+使用 `ekp-param-set` 配置间距（像素）。若不设置，将根据字体自动计算。

-Demerits 综合 badness 和 penalty 来评估整个段落的排版质量：
-
-```
-demerits = (line_penalty + badness)² + penalty² + fitness_penalty
+```elisp
+(ekp-param-set lws-ideal lws-stretch lws-shrink
+               mws-ideal mws-stretch mws-shrink
+               cws-ideal cws-stretch cws-shrink)
 ```

-其中：
- `line_penalty`：每行的基础代价（默认：10）
- `penalty`：断点特定代价（连字符：50）
- `fitness_penalty`：相邻行松紧度差异过大时的额外代价
+| 参数组 | 说明 |
+|:-------|:-----|
+| `lws-*` | 拉丁词间距 (Latin Word Space) |
+| `mws-*` | 中西文间距 (Mixed Word Space) |
+| `cws-*` | CJK 字符间距 (CJK Word Space) |

-**4. Fitness Classes（适应度等级）**
+#### K-P 算法参数

-行按松紧度分类，确保视觉一致性：
- 等级 0：紧凑（显著压缩）
- 等级 1：正常（接近理想）
- 等级 2：宽松（拉伸）
- 等级 3：非常宽松（显著拉伸）
-
-相邻行等级差超过 1 会产生额外惩罚。
-
-**5. 动态规划**
-
-算法使用 DP 在所有有效断点中寻找最小 demerits 路径：
-
-```
-dp[k] = min over all valid i < k {
-    dp[i] + demerits(从 i 到 k 的行)
-}
-```
-
-时间复杂度：O(n²)，n = 潜在断点数量。
-
-### CJK 扩展
-
-Emacs-kp 为 CJK 文本扩展了原算法：
-
-1. **字符级断行**：CJK 文本可在任意字符间断行
-2. **混合间距**：Latin-Latin、Latin-CJK、CJK-CJK 三种 glue 类型
-3. **标点处理**：CJK 标点附着于相邻字符
-
-### 连字符断词
-
-拉丁语单词断词使用 Frank Liang 的算法（TeX 的断词算法）：
- 基于模式匹配的优先级方法
- 特定语言的词典（en_US、de_DE、fr 等）
- 可配置断点前后的最小字符数
-
-## 局限
-
-目前仅支持 CJK 与**一种**拉丁语言的混合排版。不支持多种拉丁语言混排，因为系统无法可靠判断单词属于哪种语言以进行断词。
-
-## 用法
-
-### 配置项
-
-**`ekp-latin-lang`**：用于断词的主要拉丁语言（默认：`"en_US"`）。
-支持的语言见 `dictionaries/` 目录。
-
-**`ekp-param-set`**：配置间距参数（单位：像素）：
-
-| 参数                    | 说明                           |
-|:------------------------|:-------------------------------|
-| `ekp-lws-ideal-pixel`   | 拉丁单词间的理想间距           |
-| `ekp-lws-stretch-pixel` | 拉丁单词间的最大拉伸量         |
-| `ekp-lws-shrink-pixel`  | 拉丁单词间的最大压缩量         |
-| `ekp-mws-ideal-pixel`   | 拉丁与 CJK 之间的理想间距      |
-| `ekp-mws-stretch-pixel` | 拉丁与 CJK 之间的最大拉伸量    |
-| `ekp-mws-shrink-pixel`  | 拉丁与 CJK 之间的最大压缩量    |
-| `ekp-cws-ideal-pixel`   | CJK 字符间的理想间距           |
-| `ekp-cws-stretch-pixel` | CJK 字符间的最大拉伸量         |
-| `ekp-cws-shrink-pixel`  | CJK 字符间的最大压缩量         |
-
-示例：`(ekp-param-set 7 3 2 5 2 1 0 2 0)`
-
-**请勿直接设置这些变量——必须使用 `ekp-param-set` 函数。**
-
-默认值遵循 K-P 推荐：
- 理想宽度 = 空格字符宽度
- 可拉伸 = 理想 × 0.5
- 可压缩 = 理想 × 0.33
-
-### K-P 算法参数
-
-| 参数                          | 默认值 | 说明                         |
-|:------------------------------|:-------|:-----------------------------|
+| 变量 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|:-----|:-------|:-----|
 | `ekp-line-penalty` | 10 | 每行断行的基础惩罚 |
 | `ekp-hyphen-penalty` | 50 | 连字符断词的惩罚 |
 | `ekp-adjacent-fitness-penalty` | 100 | 相邻行松紧度不一致的惩罚 |
 | `ekp-last-line-min-ratio` | 0.5 | 末行最小填充比例 |
 | `ekp-looseness` | 0 | 目标行数偏移（±n 行） |

-### 核心函数
+### C 动态模块 (推荐)
+
+对于长文本，建议使用 C 模块以获得显著的性能提升。
+
+#### 构建
+
+```bash
+cd ekp_c
+make
+```
+*要求：C11 编译器，Emacs 27.1+*
+
+#### 加载

 ```elisp
-(ekp-pixel-justify string line-pixel)
+(require 'ekp-utils)
+
+;; 加载并初始化 C 模块
+(ekp-c-module-load)
+
+;; 可选：为 C 模块加载断词字典
+(ekp-c-load-dictionary "en_US")
 ```
-将 STRING 按 LINE-PIXEL 宽度排版，返回排版后的文本。

-```elisp
-(ekp-pixel-range-justify string min-pixel max-pixel)
-```
-在 [MIN-PIXEL, MAX-PIXEL] 范围内使用三分搜索寻找最优宽度。
-返回 `(排版文本 . 最优像素值)`。
+加载后，`ekp-use-c-module` 默认为 `t`，所有排版函数将自动使用 C 模块进行加速。

-注：使用 O(log n) 三分搜索，并积极缓存。
+---

-```elisp
-(ekp-clear-caches)
-```
-清除所有段落缓存。
