just applies it to all text TBH.
agreed it's probably no longer needed, I haven't tried it recently (last 5 years).
when originally added, a decade ago, the support for
word-breakwas inconsistent and experimental. when it worked it tended to be too aggressive, breaking words when wrapping and leaving some whitespace would be better. I added the­so that I could avoid all of the aggressive breaking of words, and still avoid breaking layout due to lack of breaking on long strings... long strings because URLs are just one example, gibberish long strings also broke layout (and on vBulletin was always a way someone could troll a page)Edit: oh... we do the breaking of long words every 40 characters in HTML Text nodes. it's not applied to anything within HTML.
