Hello,
In some languages extremly long words are existing. For instance in
german there are words like "Oberweserdampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft".
Unfortunally when using "text-align:justify" such a long word will be put
to a new line or in other browsers the spaces inside the justification are
very wide. Without using justify the width of lines could be very various.
Why not using a tag inside a word to allows the browser to put a part of
the word to a new line automatically.
For instance when I write a html-file using the above german word, I
could use this tag like this:
<p>... Ober<pbr />weser<pbr />dampf<pbr />schiff<pbr />fahrts<pbr />
gesell<pbr />schaft ...</p> (pbr := possible break)
The browser would show a "-" anywhere it wants in a justified text,
whenever a new line is necessary:
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Oberweserdampf-
schiffahrtsgesellschaft bla bla.
instead of:
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Oberweserdampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft
bla bla.
In english all words usually a very short, because of the spaces and "-"
inside the words. But even there such problems could exists.
Best regards
