word-wrap
CSS word-wrap Property
The word-wrap property breaks lines into words so as to fit in its container. This property even breaks words that are not unbreakable.
This property can have either a positive or negative value. A positive value adds additional space between words, whereas a negative value removes the space between words. When “normal” is set, the specified font will define the space between words.
The word-wrap property is one of the CSS3 properties.
It only has an effect when the white-space property allows wrapping.
In CSS3, the word-wrap property is called overflow-wrap.
