hyphenate-limit-chars

The hyphenate-limit-chars CSS property specifies the minimum word length to allow hyphenation of words as well as the minimum number of characters before and after the hyphen.

The hyphenate-limit-chars property provides fine-grained control over hyphenation in text. This control enables you to avoid awkward hyphenations and set appropriate hyphenation for different languages, which, in turn, allows for better typography.

The property accepts one to three values, each an <integer> or the keyword auto, specifying the number of characters for the minimum word length for hyphenation, the minimum number of characters before the hyphen, and the minimum number of characters after the hyphen, in that order:

Syntax example: hyphenate-limit-chars: 10 4 4;
