This is cool. One feature that I miss from Pagemaker (yes, I'm old) was that it put a little triangle on the bottom of a text box when you could click on to basically draw an additional text box which would then contain the rest of the flowed text.
In Inkscape you can easily drag the corner handle to resize the text frame. As for placing a marker indicating text truncation, the problem is that it will take additional effort to calculate its position if we want it to correspond to the last visible character - for example it will be different depending on rtl or ltr text.
No, I was thinking that it would be more like a binary union. So then then you could add additional areas that weren't necessarily next to each other. Something like columns in a newsletter. We wouldn't have to deal with the precise end of the text, just provide an extended area for the text.
