I was working on a website today and I noticed the word long-term got split along the hyphen into long- and then term on the next line. This is really not what I want.
First thing I thought would solve my problems is the white-space
CSS property, but this is not what it does. Although you could set it to nowrap
, but with longer texts like in my paragraph, this will just overflow. This is only useful for titles maybe.
The solution turned out to be the word-break
property.
p {
word-break: keep-all;
}
This will only split along whitespace characters, which is precisely what I want. With extremely long words it will still overflow, but my text is in english, so it should be fine.
Tailwind variant:
<p class="break-keep">Thanks for reading!</p>
