Techniques to Break Words — Adrian Roselli
March 11, 2024
I made a page that allows you to play around with a few variations on breaking words. I use long single words in English, German, Hebrew (right-to-left), Hindi, Japanese, and Arabic (right-to-left). They are probably all terrible examples since I speak none of those. I also have a long web page address and a long email. Then I replicate those each into a table.
You’ve ver likely seen the CSS is Awesome mug or t shirt. Which speaks less to the shortcomings of CSS and more to the challenge of breaking words when they don’t fit in a space.
Here Adrian Roselli looks at a number of ways to break long words in multiple languages. How many ways do you think there might be?
