<WBR>
| Usage Recommendation |
|---|
| use it, but don't rely on it |
<WBR> is for the situation where you have used <NOBR> to prevent line breaks in a section of text, and then you want to say "but you can break HERE if you want". <WBR> does not force a line break, it merely allows one:
<NOBR>Maybe it's because every time I get to the last line I feel like I have
so much left to say that I have to try to <WBR> push and fit and cram as many
words I can think of as I possibly can</NOBR>
produces
Maybe it's because every time I get to the last line I feel like I have
so much left to say that I have to try to push and fit and cram as many
words I can think of as I possibly can
Having invented <WBR>, Netscape now seems to have abandoned it. It's better to stick to grouping non-breakable sets of words within
<NOBR>, like this:
<NOBR>Maybe it's because every time I get to the last line I feel like I have
so much left to say that I have to try to</NOBR> <NOBR>push and fit and cram
as many words I can think of as I possibly can</NOBR>
which gives us this paragraph:
Maybe it's because every time I get to the last line I feel like I have
so much left to say that I have to try to push and fit and cram
as many words I can think of as I possibly can
