Basic usage
Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using .text-break
to set word-wrap: break-word
and word-break: break-word
. We use word-wrap
instead of the more common overflow-wrap
for wider browser support, and add the deprecated word-break: break-word
to avoid issues with flex containers.
Normal
Use break-normal
to only add line breaks at normal word break points.
The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis.
