Handle splitting of long URLs so that the overall text occupies space per configuration #68

Open pbelbin opened 1 year ago

pbelbin commented 1 year ago

I have seen some cases where a long URL is limiting the increase of font size because it is not being split. If the URL were able to be broken up, then the text would grow in font size to be larger, to fill the available box space.

Can this be accommodated?

Yes, set word-break: break-all.

Thank you for the tip!

OK, but, if you do that to the entire element, then every word in the paragraph, for example, get's treated that way. It would be really good if there was a flag that enables the ability to automagically identify portions of the displayed content that is a URL over a certain size, and if found, wrap that with a 'span' that itself has the 'word-break: break-all' style, so that only the URL has that, not everything. But, perhaps that's something that will be expected to be handled externally.

That's just not what this library does. But you could do it yourself and it won't conflict.
