The current example shows <wbr/> being used at non-whitespace locations, since breaks may already occur at spaces in "text-wrap: normal" content. However, in "text-wrap: none" content ("white-space: nowrap" or "white-space: pre" included), it also makes sense to include "wbr" elements in locations where whitespace appears. Suggestion: Include an example with "white-space: nowrap" or "white-space: pre", such as: <p style="white-space: pre">echo ("This is a very long line of computer program code. <wbr/>The author may want to allow it to be displayed across multiple lines, <wbr/>even though it might only be one line of code in the actual program.");</p> or this example, which makes sure the trailing colon after the hypertext link doesn't get put on a line all by itself and the content inside the "cite" element breaks only at a couple appropriate locations: <p>One of my favorite quotes from <span style="white-space: nowrap"> <a href="http://www.Shakespeare-Literature.com/Twelfth_Night/10.html"> <cite>William Shakespeare <wbr/>Twelfth Night <wbr/>Act II Scene 5</cite></a>:</span> </p> <blockquote cite="http://www.Shakespeare-Literature.com/Twelfth_Night/10.html" >In my stars I am above thee; but be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em. </blockquote> 52561 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:02:39 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 54146 3 ian 2011-08-04 06:36:54 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
