Though there could be a more detailed explanation why the property was renamed and why 'word-wrap'. Also mentioning 'shorthand' here is more confusing than helping, because the word could be interpreted as shorter name for the same property or as property containing several different properties. So this needs more clarification. SebastianReceived on Tuesday, 21 January 2014 07:58:09 UTC
