I need to fit a long text to a width of about 300 pixels. I'm using this css:
div { width: 300px; color:white; word-wrap:break-word; } My issue is with the word-wrap:break-word;. It's breaking words in the middle of the word. But what I need is to have the words stay as they are, and for the document to be smart enough to break the line when appropriate, and keep the words themselves intact.
Is that possible? I tried every option of word-wrap but nothing works. Either the paragraphs are not breaking and the text stays off screen, or the words break and a couple of letters are in one line, while other letters are in the following line.
EDIT: adding my code to form a concrete example. My entire style element:
<style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px OpenSansHebrew-Regular} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px OpenSansHebrew-Regular; min-height: 12.0px} div { width: 300px; color:white; font-size:10px; word-wrap:break-word; } pre {white-space:break;} </style> Then in the body element:
<body bgcolor="#1fa0e2"> <p class="p1"> <div> <bdo dir="rtl"> <pre> דירת 3 חדרים ברחוב ארתור רובינשטיין בתל אביב הוצעה באחרונה למכירה ב–2.5 מיליון שקל, ובסופו של דבר נמכרה ב–2.195 מיליון בלבד - פער של 12% בין המחיר המבוקש למחיר המכירה. בירושלים, דירת 4 חדרים ברחוב צביה יצחק הוצעה למכירה ב–1.6 מיליון שקל ונמכרה ב–40% פחות - 950 אלף שקל בלבד. </pre> </div> </bdo> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> </body> </html>

use white-space: nowrap; . If you have set width on the element on which you are setting this it should work. It's white-space: nowrap actually.
What is the difference between “word-break: break-all” versus “word-wrap: break-word” in CSS ? The word-break property in CSS is used to specify how a word should be broken or split when reaching the end of a line. The word-wrap property is used to split/break long words and wrap them into the next line.
Use the default line break rule. To prevent overflow, word breaks should be inserted between any two characters (excluding Chinese/Japanese/Korean text). Word breaks should not be used for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text.
You don't need to do anything special. Normally the text will break between words.
If that doesn't happen, then
<pre> element, or has the css white-space:pre; or white-space:nowrap;. ) instead of normal spaces.Solution: use
white-space: pre-wrap; It will make the element behave like a pre element, except it also wraps when the line is too long. See also: http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/w/whitespace/

I was messing about with this. People didn't mention setting the word-break style too. The default word-break rules must wrap the word at the end of the container space, but doesn't keep the word intact.
So the solution to your problem in CSS would be:
pre{ white-space: pre-wrap; word-break: keep-all; /*this stops the word breaking*/ } Edit: I was messing with this further and because I'm using bootstrap, their styling seems to mess with pre tag a lot. Use the !important keyword to override their styling.
