Question

How can I word wrap text insided cards.

Here's the problem: plunker link

Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Answer 1

You need two rules:

• max-width for your .card elements (because without defining a width CSS will not know where to break your long word) or overflow: hidden; to make the .card width no longer depend on the long word length
• word-wrap: break-word; to tell the browser to break a word

.card {
    max-width: 100%;
}
.card-text {
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

---

.card {
  overflow: hidden;
}
.card-block {
  word-wrap: break-word;
}

Simple:

/* For screens above: 576px */
.card{
  overflow: hidden;
}

.card-text{
  word-wrap: break-word;
}
