HTML5 wbr element: add a line break opportunity
| min | video details |
|---|---|
| 00:00 | video tutorial: wbr element |
| 00:05 | wbr element allows you to add a line break opportunity; basically it creates a breaking point, where the browser may break the line in case of width constraints |
| 00:14 | let's add a line break after d, so the browser may break the line here |
| 00:24 | the breaking point is here, let's just create a width constraint by shrinking the browser window |
| 00:29 | the current line breaks after this breaking point pushing the rest of the content on the next line |
| 00:33 | no other wbr elements inside 'yabadabadooo...' word → no other breaks |
| 00:42 | you can add as many wbr elements as you want |
| 00:51 | multiple wbr elements inside the long word, → multiple breaking points |
For more information about the element, please see the specs: W3C ⁄ WHATWG
