Examples

Wrapping mid-word

Use the wrap-break-word utility to break words at arbitrary points:

html
<p class="wrap-break-word ...">The longest word in any of the major...</p>

Wrapping anywhere

Use the wrap-anywhere utility to break words at any character:

html
<div class="wrap-anywhere ...">
  <p>Jay Riemenschneider</p>
  <p>jason.riemenschneider@vandelayindustries.com</p>
</div>

Wrapping normally

Use the wrap-normal utility to use the default line breaking rules:

html
<p class="wrap-normal ...">The longest word in any of the major...</p>

Responsive design

Prefix an overflow-wrap utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

html
<p class="wrap-normal md:wrap-break-word ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
