FIGURE 4-8
The results of specifying
none
for the
hyphen
attribute
In Figure 4-8, the browser is not hyphenating any of the text and is letting it overflow
beyond the boundaries of the container. To force hyphenation, specify
auto
for the value of
the
hyphen
attribute. The output of this change is shown in Figure 4-9.
FIGURE 4-9
The results of specifying
auto
for the
hyphen
attribute
When
auto is specified,
, the browser calculates where to hyphenate the words based on
its own rules so that the text does not go outside the bounds of the container. The
manual
option behaves much the same way except that you can specify an external rule set to use
and also supply hints by using the
­
(soft hyphen) notation.

crosoft uses the phrase “text drop shadow” but you'll note that it has been shortened to “text
shadow” in this topic.
