text-wrap Demo 1

The Default Wrapping is text-wrap: wrap

This section specifically shows the standard wrapping. The browser breaks lines to fit, without any visual refinement or advanced optimization, often leaving single words stranded on the final line or creating maybe visually uneven text blocks.

Observe how words are split purely at the container's edge entirely. This default method doesn't consider typographical niceties like avoiding isolated words orphaned on their own line.

Understanding text-wrap: pretty for Readability

Applying text-wrap: pretty refines line breaking for visual harmony. It actively strives to eliminate single words orphaned at a paragraph's end, ensuring a cleaner visual flow and greatly improving readability for longer content like paragraphs.

With pretty, the browser smartly optimizes text flow, significantly reducing instances of awkward gaps or isolated short lines. This subtle yet powerful enhancement truly boosts the aesthetic appeal of your extended prose and stuff.

text-wrap: balance for Visually Appealing Headlines and also Short Phrases

Here, we use text-wrap: balance. This property is specifically designed to create more visually balanced lines of text, especially for short blocks like headlines, captions, or short paragraphs. The browser tries to make lines of roughly equal length.

Observe how the text breaks in a way that distributes words more evenly across lines, preventing extreme short or long lines within a single block. This often leads to a more compact and aesthetically pleasing appearance for titles and concise statements.
