The sample provides a FlowDocument with sample content, and provides controls to toggle the IsHyphenationEnabled and IsOptimalParagraphEnabled properties and view the resulting layout changes in real time. The sample also includes controls for toggling the IsColumnWidthFlexible property, and adjusting the ColumnWidth and ColumnGap properties.
