I was wondering if there is a CSS or javascript magic that could place a marker in an html text so that the browser know where the line break creation is preffered when the text gets cramped. Is there such thing?

To do a line break in HTML, use the <br> tag. Simply place the tag wherever you want to force a line break. Since an HTML line break is an empty element, there's no closing tag.
<wbr>: The Line Break Opportunity element The <wbr> HTML element represents a word break opportunity—a position within text where the browser may optionally break a line, though its line-breaking rules would not otherwise create a break at that location.
You can't format line breaks into an option; however, you can use the title attibute to give a mouse-over tooltip to give the full info. Use a short descriptor in the option text and give the full skinny in the title.
I think this works very well:
span.line { display: inline-block; } <p> <span class="line">This text should break</span> <span class="line">after the word "break"</span> </p> The text still breaks on other places when there is not enough space:

Is the <wbr> tag (word break) what you are looking for?
It's not CSS or JS, but can be placed directly in the HTML
