Css text wrap none

How Not to Wrap the Contents of

, , and Elements

You can make the contents of HTML , , and elements not to wrap by using some CSS. You need the white-space property. As we know, this property helps us to handle the spaces within the element.

So, if you want not to wrap the contents of the elements mentioned above, you need to use the “nowrap” value of the white-space property.

Example of making the content of the

element not to wrap:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> p < white-space: nowrap; > style> head> body> h1>White-space property example h1> p> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. p> body> html>

Result

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.

In the following example, in the same way, we make the content of the element not to wrap. Also, we’ll add a border.

Example of making the content of the element not to wrap:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> div < white-space: nowrap; border: 1px solid green; > style> head> body> h1>White-space property example h1> div> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. div> body> html>

In our last example, we’ll make the content of the element not to wrap, again with the white-space property. We’ll set the display of the to “block”, then, specify its width and border.

Example of making the content of the element not to wrap:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> span < display: block; width: 250px; border: 1px solid purple; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; > style> head> body> h1>White-space property example h1> span> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. span> body> html>

Here, we also specified the overflow property with the “hidden” value, which allowed us to clip the content so as to fit the box.

text-wrap

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The text-wrap CSS property controls how text inside an element is wrapped. The different values provide:

• Typographic improvements, for example more balanced line lengths across broken headings
• A way to turn text wrapping off completely.

Note: The white-space-collapse and text-wrap properties can be declared together using the white-space shorthand property.

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ text-wrap: wrap; text-wrap: nowrap; text-wrap: balance; /* Global values */ text-wrap: inherit; text-wrap: initial; text-wrap: revert; text-wrap: revert-layer; text-wrap: unset; 

The text-wrap property is specified as a single keyword chosen from the list of values below.

Values

Text is wrapped across lines at appropriate characters (for example spaces, in languages like English that use space separators) to minimize overflow. This is the default value.

Text does not wrap across lines. It will overflow its containing element rather than breaking onto a new line.

Text is wrapped in a way that best balances the number of characters on each line, enhancing layout quality and legibility. Because counting characters and balancing them across multiple lines is computationally expensive, this value is only supported for blocks of text spanning a limited number of lines (the Chromium implementation uses four wrapped lines or less), meaning that it is useful for cases such as headings or pull quotes.

Formal definition

Formal syntax

text-wrap =
wrap |
nowrap |
balance |
stable |
pretty

Examples

Basic text wrap value comparison

HTML

h2 class="wrap" contenteditable="true"> The default behavior; the text in the heading wraps "normally" h2> h2 class="nowrap" contenteditable="true"> In this case the text in the heading doesn't wrap, and overflows the container h2> h2 class="balance" contenteditable="true"> In this case the text in the heading is nicely balanced across lines h2> 

CSS

.wrap  text-wrap: wrap; > .nowrap  text-wrap: nowrap; > .balance  text-wrap: balance; > h2  font-size: 2rem; font-family: sans-serif; > 

Result

The text in the example is editable. Change the text, adding long words, to view how the different line and word lengths impact wrapping.

How to Disable Word Wrapping in HTML

In this snippet, we’re going to demonstrate how you can disable word wrapping in HTML. Actually, this can be done with a few steps using some CSS properties.

To prevent the text from wrapping, you can use the CSS white-space property with the “nowrap” or “pre” value. In this snippet, you can see examples with both of them.

Create HTML

h2>Example h2> div> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. div>

Add CSS

Example of disabling word wrapping with the “nowrap” value of the white-space property:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> div < white-space: nowrap; border: 1px solid #cccccc; > style> head> body> h2>Example h2> div> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text. div> body> html>

Example of disabling word wrapping with the “pre” value of the white-space property:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> div < white-space: pre; > style> head> body> h2>Example h2> div> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.

Wrapping and breaking text

This guide explains the various ways in which overflowing text can be managed in CSS.

What is overflowing text?

In CSS, if you have an unbreakable string such as a very long word, by default it will overflow any container that is too small for it in the inline direction. We can see this happening in the example below: the long word is extending past the boundary of the box it is contained in.

CSS will display overflow in this way, because doing something else could cause data loss. In CSS data loss means that some of your content vanishes. So the initial value of overflow is visible , and we can see the overflowing text. It is generally better to be able to see overflow, even if it is messy. If things were to disappear or be cropped as would happen if overflow was set to hidden you might not spot it when previewing your site. Messy overflow is at least easy to spot, and in the worst case, your visitor will be able to see and read the content even if it looks a bit strange.

In this next example, you can see what happens if overflow is set to hidden .

Finding the min-content size

To find the minimum size of the box that will contain its contents with no overflows, set the width or inline-size property of the box to min-content .

Using min-content is therefore one possibility for overflowing boxes. If it is possible to allow the box to grow to be the minimum size required for the content, but no bigger, using this keyword will give you that size.

Breaking long words

If the box needs to be a fixed size, or you are keen to ensure that long words can’t overflow, then the overflow-wrap property can help. This property will break a word once it is too long to fit on a line by itself.

Note: The overflow-wrap property acts in the same way as the non-standard property word-wrap . The word-wrap property is now treated by browsers as an alias of the standard property.

An alternative property to try is word-break . This property will break the word at the point it overflows. It will cause a break-even if placing the word onto a new line would allow it to display without breaking.

In this next example, you can compare the difference between the two properties on the same string of text.

This might be useful if you want to prevent a large gap from appearing if there is just enough space for the string. Or, where there is another element that you would not want the break to happen immediately after.

In the example below there is a checkbox and label. Let’s say, you want the label to break should it be too long for the box. However, you don’t want it to break directly after the checkbox.

Adding hyphens

To add hyphens when words are broken, use the CSS hyphens property. Using a value of auto , the browser is free to automatically break words at appropriate hyphenation points, following whatever rules it chooses. To have some control over the process, use a value of manual , then insert a hard or soft break character into the string. A hard break ( ‐ ) will always break, even if it is not necessary to do so. A soft break ( ­ ) only breaks if breaking is needed.

You can also use the hyphenate-character property to use the string of your choice instead of the hyphen character at the end of the line (before the hyphenation line break).

This property also takes the value auto , which will select the correct value to mark a mid-word line break according to the typographic conventions of the current content language.

The element

In the below example the text breaks in the location of the .
