<wbr>

<wbr
id=value
dir=ltr|rtr
title=text
/<wbr>

Inserts a soft line break in a block of <nobr> text. The tag does not force a line break; it simple tells the browser where it can insert a break if one is needed. The end tag is optional.

Attributes

dir=ltr|rtr

Specifies the direction of text. This can be left-to-right (ltr) or right-to-left (rtl). For example, English characters are presented left-to-right, Hebrew characters are presented right-to-left.

id=value

Specifies a unique name for the tag. No two tags can have the same id on a single page. The value must begin with a letter followed by any alphanumeric character, a hyphen, an underscore, a colon or a full stop. You use it to reference a unique style for a tag or to manipulate the tag with a script.

title=text

For information only. Some browsers display the title when you move the mouse over the tag (like a tool tip).
