HTML <wbr> tag

The <wbr> tag is used to specify a word break opportunity within a block of text. This allows browsers to break lines at specific points, improving the readability of long strings of text.

Basic Usage

To use the <wbr> tag, simply insert it at the point where you want a word break opportunity to occur:

Thisisaverylongword<wbr>thatshouldbebroken

In the above example, the browser is allowed to break the long word at the point where the <wbr> tag is placed.

Tag Attributes

Below is a table showing the main attributes of the <wbr> tag and their use:

Attribute	Description
clear	Specifies the side of the element where other floating objects are not allowed.
class	Specifies one or more class names for an element (refers to a class in a style sheet).
id	Specifies a unique id for an element.

Example

Here's an example using the <wbr> tag with the clear attribute:

Thisisaverylongword<wbr clear="left">thatshouldbebroken

In this example, the browser will not allow floating objects on the left side of the element where the <wbr> tag is placed.
