Breaking Words

When the browser is asked to display text of a paragraph, it checks the width available to the element. Whenever a line of text gets to the end of a line, the browser interrupts the line of text and continues the paragraph to the next line. The length of the last word on the line influences where the line is interrupted.

One approach used in word processing is to indicate to the application whether it should "break" the last word on the line or leave it "as is". In reality, this operation depends on the human language being used. Still, to let you suggest this operation to the browser, CSS provides a style named word-break. Its values can be:

  • normal: The word cannot be broken. The line break will be done after the last word on the line
  • break-all: Whether the paragraph is justified or not, every word at the end of the line would be split up to the last letter that can fit at the end of the line. Here are two examples: 
    <html>

<p class="sub-title">Introduction</p>

<p class="introduction">Social sciences cover a wide range of studies that 
address all types of topics about human beings, their behaviors, their 
history, their societies, and their environments. Regular social science 
areas include sociology, psychology, philosoply, linguistics, communication, 
history, geography, demography, ethnicity, anthropology, archaeology, 
political science, law, education, criminology, and economy, just to name 
a few. Some social science topics are grouped in categories, such as 
individual or crowd, where studies tend to address the same categorical 
isssues. Still, social sciences are highly interchangeable. Sometimes, 
differences are a matter of interpretations based on the particular 
area(s) being considered.</p>

<p class="sub-title">Social Science Contributions</p>

<p class="contribution">Social sciences are not strictly confined to the 
above list. Studies in chemistry borrow concepts from sociology, anthropology, 
and economy. Mathematics and medicine, that are sometimes said not to be a 
science, regularly share theories with philosophy, psychology, or criminology. 
In the same way, it is practically impossible to study computer science, 
which includes computer languages and application programming, without 
referring to linguistics. As a conclusion, social sciences are not restricted 
to one area of study but contribute to various types of sciences, studies, 
and disciplines.</p>

  • keep-all: If the paragraph is not justified, nothing would happen. Assuming that the paragraph is justified, no word will be split. The browser would check what words, and how many words, can fit on the line. Every line must be filled up to the last word that can fit. Here is an example:

Text Shadow

A shadow can be added to text to decorate it either to accentuate its effect or to decoarate it. To let you show a shadow on text. CSS provides the text-shadow style. This value can be set to none, in which case the shadow must not be displayed. Otherwise, if you want a shadow, provide a list of 2 to 4 HTML-based numbers and an optional color as the value of the style:

  • The first value is the distance by which to draw the shadow horizontally:
    • If you want the shadow to appear on the left side, set a negative value.
    • If you want the shadow to appear on the right side, set a positive value.
    Here is an example: 
    <html>
<head>
<title>Risk Management</title>

<style>
#risk {
    color:       red;
    font-size:   0.82cm;

#shadowed {
    color:       red;
    font-size:   0.82cm;
    text-shadow: 0.15cm 0 0;
    font-family: Rockwell, Bodoni MT Black, Elephant, sans-serif; }

    This would produce:

    Text Shadow

  • The second value is the distance by which to draw the shadow vertically:
    • If you want the shadow to appear on the top side, set a negative value.
    • If you want the shadow to appear on the bottom side, set a positive value.
    Here is an example:

    If you want the shadow to appear on a corner, set both the first and the second values non-zero
  • The combination of the first and the second values set the angle by which to draw the shadow. The third value is a type of brush, also referred to as a blur, that will "currupt" the drawing of the shadow so it would appear blurred. The lower the value, the more solid the shadow. The higher the value, the more blurry the shadow would appear. Here is an example:

Letter Spacing

Both the operating system and the browser(s) in the visitor's computer are equipped to display text with some default characteristics. One way you can change this is to indicate that you want the letters to be separated by a certain distance. To let you do this, CSS provides a style named letter-spacing. Its value can be set to normal, in which case no change would be made. Otherwise, to separate the letters in an element, specify an HTML-based number as the value of this attribute. Here is an example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Risk Management</title>

<style>
#rm {
    color:       Navy;
    font-family: Rockwell, Bodoni MT Black, Elephant, sans-serif;

Word Spacing

Word spacing consists of putting a certain distance among the words of an element. To allow you to apply that feature, CSS provides a style named word-spacing. It can have a value as normal for which nothing would be changed on the text. If you want to apply a certain distance among the words of text in an element, set an HTML-based numeric value for this style. Here is an example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Risk Management</title>

<style>
#rm {
    color:       Blue;
    font-family: Rockwell, Bodoni MT Black, Elephant, sans-serif;
    font-size:   0.86cm;

Preformatting Text

You are probably already familiar with the HTML's pre element that is used to used to create pre-formatted text. It is straight-forward and renders text as it is typed in the HTML document. To give you more options in pre-formatting text, CSS provides a style named white-space that can take values:

  • normal: This is the default value. It means that no change should be made on the text of the element. Here are examples: 
    <html>
<head>

    As you can see, this style follows those of the pre element:
    • The spaces among the words are kept based on the number of times you pressed the Space bar between two words when you typed that text
    • The lines are broken the same way as in the document
    • If a line of text is longer than the width available to the element, the text will go overboard (this is referred to as overflow). If the text is created directly in the body element, the browser may display a horizontal scroll bar
  • pre-line: The spaces among the words are not kept as in the document. Instead, only one space (equivalent to pressing the Space bar on the keyboard) is used to separate two words, even if you had pressed the Space bar more than once to separate the words. On the other hand, the lines are broken exactly as done in the document. Here is an example:

<p class="main">C# Programming</p>

<p class="paragraph-title">Introduction to OOP</p>

<p class="regular-paragraph"><abbr title="Pronounced C sharp">C#</abbr> is a computer programming language created and developed <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233154.aspx" target="_new"</a>Microsoft</a>. The language adheres to the rules of <abbr title="Object-Oriented Programming">OOP</abbr> and <quote class="emphasis">procedural</quote> programming. C# supports various means of creating objects. These include classes and structures.</p>

<p class="paragraph-title">Creating a Class</p>

<p class="regular-paragraph">A class is created using the <b>class</b> keyword followed by a name and curly brackets in which each member is created. At a minimum, a member is created with a data type, a name, and a semicolon. The data type can be a primitive type. Here is an example of a class:</p>

<p class="preformatted">class Employee
{
    string EmployeeNumber; 
    string FirstName;
    char   MI;
    string LastName;
    int    YearlySalary;
}<p>

<p class="regular-paragraph">The member of a class can also be an enumeration. Here is an example:</p>

<p class="break-lines-respected">enum OccupancyStatus
{
    Other       = 0,
    Available   = 1,
    Occupied    = 2,
    NeedsRepair = 3,
}

class Apartment
{
    string UnitNumber;
    int    Bedrooms;
    float  Bathrooms;
    int    SecurityDeposit;
    int    MonthlyRate;
    OccupancyStatus Status;
}</p>

<p class="regular-paragraph">It should be noted that an enumeration is usually created in one line. Here is an example:</p>

<p class="break-lines-not-respected">enum OccupancyStatus
{
    Other       = 0,
    Available   = 1,
    Occupied    = 2,
    NeedsRepair = 3,
}</p>

<p class="regular-paragraph">C# supports various types of applications, such as <abbr title="Graphical User Interface">GUI</abbr> apps. Here is an example that creates a form that contains a multi-line text box:</p>

<p class="preformatted">using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public partial class TextEditor : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
    private TextBox txtEditor;

    public TextEditor()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        // Text Box: Editor
        txtEditor = new TextBox();
        txtEditor.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(11, 12);
        txtEditor.Multiline = true;
        txtEditor.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Times New Roman", 12F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, 0);
        txtEditor.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical;
        txtEditor.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(640, 100);
        Controls.Add(txtEditor);

        // Form: Editor
        ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(663, 123);
        Text = "Text Editor";
        Load += new System.EventHandler(EditorLoad);
    }
}</p>
<p class="preformat-without-overflow">public partial class TextEditor
{
    private void EditorLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("There is no text to display in the text box at this time.", "Text Editor", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
    }

    [STAThread]
    public static int Main()
    {
        Application.Run(new TextEditor());

        return 0;
    }
}</p>

</body>
</html>

    This would produce:
