Here is a test program:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Long Url Test</title>
<style>
/** a {word-wrap: break-word;} /**/
/**/ a {overflow-wrap: break-word;} /**/
p {hyphens: auto;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<head>Long URL Test</head>
<p>The purpose of this test is to check word wrapping when a long url is
used. Like <a
href="#junk">www.VeryLongAndNotToSmartURLThatWillNotBreakUnderNormalRules.tst</a>.
</p>
<p>This tests an even nastier issue: The longest word in English:
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Or
AURLThatIsVeryLongAndCannotBeBrokenUsingNormalRulesThatIsNotEnclosedInAnATag.tst</p>
</body>
</html>
Note: in this example a {overflow-wrap: break-word} is active. Just change
the comment for a {word-wrap: break-word} to be active.
There are three cases. Very long urls in <a> tags. Very long urls in text
and just plain long words. Not all browsers obey hyphenate.
Both word-wrap and overflow-wrap work on Chrome, Firefox and Safari with
<a> tags. I did not test * {word-wrap: break-word} or * {overflow-wrap:
break-word} because the effect of this has terrible outcomes in many cases:
like splitting table columns to one letter wide columns.
The hyphens CSS worked on Chrome and Firefox and failed on Safari.
