This repository demonstrates an uncommon issue encountered when using Tailwind CSS's text-wrap
utility. In certain scenarios involving long words or unusual text content, the line break might not respect word boundaries as expected, leading to visually awkward line breaks. The issue seems to be related to a combination of Tailwind's text-wrap
and how different browsers handle text wrapping.
The primary bug is that text wrapping doesn't always behave as expected, particularly with extremely long words. This results in unexpected line breaks in the middle of a word, disrupting readability.
The provided solution offers a couple approaches to mitigate this issue. One way is to use the overflow-wrap: break-word;
CSS property to explicitly force breaks within words if necessary. Another option, particularly useful for maintaining consistent text layout, is to employ the hyphens: auto;
CSS property, allowing for hyphenation to further improve the text wrapping behavior.
