Line breaking
summary
Walks through concrete behaviors and compatibility of CSS Text Level 3: how white-space:pre-wrap versus the upcoming white-space:break-spaces treat tabs and end-of-line spaces, how tables and flex items use intrinsic minimum size so overflow-wrap: anywhere is needed to force breaking, how hyphens: auto requires lang for dictionaries, and how word-break/hyphens/line-break interact for CJK punctuation. Demonstrations show editable-element hacks, surprising browser mismatches, and which properties are unimplemented or buggy today.
