word-break 471s1n
The word-break property determines if and how to break lines in the middle of words. 5d484v
Normally, lines that don’t fit inside their container break in certain points, specifically where there’s a white space or a hyphen. But when the word-break property is set to break-all, the browser will break lines at any point, even in the middle of a word that comes at the end of the line and that would be too long to fit inside the container.
The result of breaking lines in the middle of words will be close to that which we get when we justify text inside an element (see text-align), except that white space is not affected, so there may be lines where a white space would be existent between the last word on the line and the edge of the container.
The words broken at the end of each line by the word-break property become practically unreadable because there is no visual indication as to where the word has been broken.
A more readable and responsive alternative would be to use the hyphens entry pages.
Official Syntax 4j1l4a
- Syntax:
word-break: normal | break-all | keep-all
- Initial: normal
- Applies To: all elements
- Animatable: no
Values 4w6m73
- normal
- Lines break according to their usual rules.
- break-all
-
In addition to
normalbreaking rules, lines may break between any two letters (except where forbidden by theline-breakproperty). Hyphenation is not applied.
This option is used mostly in a context where the text is predominantly using CJK characters with few non-CJK excerpts and it is desired that the text be better distributed on each line. - keep-all
-
Normal word breaks are suppressed in all characters including CJK languages. For non-CJK text, it is the same as the
normalvalue.
