CSS Hyphens

But did you include ­ (soft hyphen) in all your texts across your entire website? That is the only way the hyphen option will have any effect all all. If you have a link, I can check for reference.

So just so I understand, you have a very long German word like "Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän", and instead of having that word entirely go onto a new line, you want it to automatically split on two lines separated by hypen - ?

Depends on what you asked. If you can show me exactly what you asked and what the AI answered, maybe I can provide some follow up information.

You can't have HTML automatically break single words into multiple lines, because how is it supposed to know where to break the word? The only way to achieve that, would be to include the hyphen directly in the word, eg "Donaudampfschiff-fahrtsgesellschaftskapitän", or include soft hyphens "­" (as explained in this link).

There is an option word-break: break-all;, but this is not automatic hyphenation. It just breaks the word in two when there is no more space, even if it's wrong. For example, the word "hippopotamus" could come out like this:

hippopotam
