How does CSS hyphenation work?
Set hyphens: auto and lang attribute on the element. The browser uses language-specific hyphenation dictionaries to break words at appropriate syllable boundaries.
Does hyphenation work in all languages?
Support varies by browser and language. English, German, Spanish, French have good support. Some languages may have limited or no hyphenation dictionaries.
When should I use hyphenation?
In narrow columns, justified text, and responsive layouts where words might overflow. Avoid hyphenating short text blocks or headlines.
