word-wrap

The word-wrap CSS property (now standardized as overflow-wrap) controls whether the browser should break words to prevent them from overflowing their container. When set to break-word, it forces otherwise unbreakable strings to wrap onto the next line to avoid layout issues.

Notes

  • 1

    Applies word-wrap: break-word to all items.

  • 2

    Does not honor any wrapping, including word-wrap, overflow-wrap, and word-break. Using an equivalent MSO breakdown (-ms-word-break: break-all and mso-hyphenate: none together) does not work.

  • 3

    Supports both word-wrap and equivalent MSO breakdown (-ms-word-break: break-all and mso-hyphenate: none together)
