wbr element

Description

The wbr element represents a line break opportunity. This element can become very useful in situations where the comprehension of the information can be affected by missplaced line breaks. Thanks to it, authors can specify where the line breaks, if any, should be produced.

Examples

In the following example, line break opportunities are placed along a very long word. This will allow browsers to break the word as necessary in situations where it can be displayed completely in one line (because of, for example, space availability).

<p>Then you have to invoke the function <code>take<wbr>These<wbr>Two<wbr>Values<wbr>And<wbr>Make<wbr>A<wbr>Very<wbr>Complex<wbr>Operation<wbr>With<wbr>Them(int a, int b)</code> and pass the two results you obtained before.</p>

Now, in this example the author intentionally defines some line break opportunities where they better adapts to the information shown. In this case (a declaration of multiple variables in a programming language) it's better not to break the line in the assignments (the parts with the equal sign).

<pre><code>var i = 0, <wbr>a = 10, <wbr>b = 20, <wbr>c = 30, <wbr>radius = 200, <wbr>xCoord = 500, <wbr>yCoord = 1500, <wbr>sampleNumber = 5, <wbr>waterTemperature = 100, <wbr>atmPressure = 50;</code></pre>

var i = 0, a = 10, b = 20, c = 30, radius = 200, xCoord = 500, yCoord = 1500, sampleNumber = 5, waterTemperature = 100, atmPressure = 50;
