it's possible to define in css where should be the breaking point when a text begins to wrap? for example, I have this text:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

and I want to break this sentence in two only after "amet," like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit.

thanks

should every sentence break at that width? – Goos van den Bekerom Oct 02 '14 at 12:09

Too bad it got closed, I had a working answer and was going to add it. The linked question is wrong. http://jsfiddle.net/428fevjq/1/ – C Bauer Oct 02 '14 at 12:19

@CBauer It got closed because it is a duplicate question. The OP didn't want to break the line permanently (as you did by adding a `
` element next to `amet` word via jQuery!) but to specify the breaking point `when a text begins to wrap`. – Hashem Qolami Oct 02 '14 at 12:27
I didn't see your jsbin until now, that's an even better answer then. – C Bauer Oct 02 '14 at 12:31
