HTML5 Word-Wrap Feature

Introduction

Word-Wrapping allows the words to break between lines. If the end of the line is reached, the word will break at that point and continue on to the next line.

Another way to use word-wrap is to allow the words to break at the white spaces between the words so that no word is cut but rather kept together.

In WOW, this can come handy when the details are desired to be displayed on a single page view without having to scroll to the right to see the rest of the information. This can keep all the information in a vertical format. Scrolling will then only be vertical and not horizontal and vertical.

For example: Let’s say the cell will only read 10 characters per line and if there’s a cell that displays the company name such as: “Party Rentals Plus”, this name will be too long for that cell. On the first line it will display:

first line: → Party Rent

second line: → als Plus

This is how it will break words for each line, if it needs to do so.
