Glossary Term

word-break

3 tags 1 category

The word-break CSS property sets whether line breaks appear wherever the text would otherwise overflow its content box.

Values: normal Use the default line break rule. break-all To prevent overflow, word breaks should be inserted between any two characters (excluding Chinese/Japanese/Korean text). keep-all Word breaks should not be used for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text. Non-CJK text behavior is the same as for normal. auto-phrase Has the same effect as word-break: normal except that language-specific analysis is performed to improve word breaks by not placing them in the middle of natural phrases. break-word Has the same effect as overflow-wrap: anywhere combined with word-break: normal, regardless of the actual value of the overflow-wrap property.

Syntax example: word-break: normal;
