Description rvojta 2008-09-25 16:18:06 UTC 
I can't get the number of text in paragraph via API in an easy way. It would be 
nice to have some function which can return the number of text lines in 
paragraph.

I can workaround it, but it's ugly ...

 - put view cursor at paragraph start, get Y position
 - go right
 - if Y position changes, increment number of lines
 - if paragraph changes, end

... but there are many cases where this approach doesn't work. I know that my 
paragraph is on one page only, so, it's enough, but it would be nice to have 
more general and easier way how to count lines.
