Notes
• This property is primarily used for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text,
particularly when multiple languages like English are combined in as well.
• Under IE 8 this property is also known as
-ms-word-break
to correctly identify it
as an extension in standards-compliant mode.
• CSS3 supports
loose
(same as
normal
) and
break-strict
.
• When used within tables, the
table-layout
property must be set to
fixed
according to Microsoft for correct operation.
