//! Text you can select with the pointer and copy out of.
//!
//! [`render`] handles pointer selection; [`surface`] adds keyboard focus and copy.
//! Selection state stays with the caller so lists can share one selection.

/// Render `doc` with `selection` painted in it, reporting what the pointer does.
///
/// `dragging` is the caller's: a move only extends a selection that a press
/// started, and which item that press landed in is not something one block of
/// text can know. It has to be `true` for at most one block at a time — a
/// block that is told it is dragging follows the pointer over the whole
/// window, so two of them would both extend on every move.
///
/// Releasing is answered twice over — on the text and off it — because a drag
/// that ends past the edge of a paragraph is the ordinary way to select to the
/// end of one. Moves are read the same way: `on_mouse_move` is delivered only
/// while the pointer is over this element's hitbox, so a drag off the text —
/// or under something painted over it — would otherwise stop extending where
/// it crossed the edge. [`BlockLayouts::hit`] resolves a point outside the
/// text to the nearest line, which is what makes the off-hitbox move
/// answerable at all.
