Firefox already shipped this feature - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505786 Chrome plans to implement this feature - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=905315 I have sent the "intent to implement" request for Blink. Showing some public support in this bug would help to get the request approved. Implementing this is a good idea. (You can consider this "public support.") We already implement (the deprecated) word-break:break-word, which is defined[1] to "have the same effect as word-break: normal and overflow-wrap: anywhere." Therefore, implementing this should be fairly straightforward. From looking at WebKit source code (RenderStyle::breakWords()), it appears that word-break:break-word is currently treated identically to overflow-wrap:break-word, which I think is incorrect according to the spec text quoted above. It would be cool if this project fixed this, too (though, of course, fixing this could be tracked in a separate bug). [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#word-break-property @Myles, The wrapping behavior of word-break:break-word / overflow-wrap: anywhere is the same as that of overflow-wrap:break-word, but the effect on intrinsic sizing is different. A quick bit of testing shows that safari has the expected sizing behavior difference between word-break:break-word and overflow-wrap:break-word. To test, you can try this: <section style=width:0> <div style=float:left>longword</div> </section> If you put overflow-wrap:break-word on the div, the longword will not wrap, but if you put word-break:break-word instead, it will. It would be really nice to see this implemented so it can be used across the board - other major browsers support this since 2019 (Firefox) / 2020 (Chrome, Edge). https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_properties_overflow-wrap_anywhere Cheers This bug seems to be fixed. https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/issues/17012 I think this is implemented and we pass 'WPT' tests as well: https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-text/overflow-wrap?label=master&label=experimental&aligned=&q=overflow-wrap-anywhere Do we need anything more here? |
