Tag History
- What is it?
- The WBr element is a stand-alone tag which indicates to the browser
where a particular word is ALLOWED to be broken. This does not
necessarily mean that the word WILL be broken at this point - it is just
a guide for the browser. Within the NOBR tag, this tag EXPLICITLY
tells the browser where to put the word/line break.
Attributes
- This tag does not accept any attributes
- Example
- <nobr>This is a really
super-duper, extremely long run of no<wbr>break text which should be broken
only where we tell it to</nobr>

Tips & Tricks
- Note: Style Sheet attributes are
not listed for the WBR tag because of a caveat listed in the
Cascading Style Sheets specification for the BR tag -
It states that the break tag is a 'Replaced Element' that is
replaced in the document with a line break and thus has no
properties. Although WBR is not in any standards yet that the
CSS1 authors would consider, WBR offers a similar effect to
BR so it is placed in the same class with respect to style
sheet treatment.
