r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-text] Hyphenation styling should apply to the wbr element == 8. Breaking Within Words https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#hyphenation https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#hyphenation This issue picks up from https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6326 > In HTML, ­ represents the soft hyphen character, which suggests a hyphenation opportunity. The `hyphens` property description mentions `­`, but doesn't mention the `wbr` element. I think that whenever `wbr` is used inside a word it should also be treated as a hyphenation opportunity. In other words, the set of things described in the spec as 'conditional' or 'soft' hyphen should include not only `­` but also `wbr`. It would probably be useful to introduce `­` and `wbr` in the [paragraph that defines a hyphenation opportunity](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#hyphenation-opportunity). Or have a separate paragraph that defines what consitutes a 'soft-hyphen' (maybe better because you can then reference that definition from various places where conditional or soft hyphens are mentioned). In addition to the `hyphens` property this would also apply to the `hyphenate-character` property (especially) and other such. I don't expect there to be any conflict between the use of `wbr` in scripts like Japanese to indicate line-break opportunities between words and its use in other languages to indicate hyphenation opportunities, since the former scripts won't apply any special hyphenation behaviours.
