The hyphens property

The hyphens property enables browser hyphenation using the hyphen "-". To support the Russian language, you need to add the lang="ru" attribute to the tag to which hyphens are applied (or to the parent of this tag). You can simply add this attribute to the html tag. Without this, hyphenation will not work.

Syntax

cssselector {
  hyphens: auto | manual | none;
}

Values

Value	Description
`auto`	Places hyphenation marks where necessary.
`manual`	Adds hyphens only in those places where the `wbr` tag or the special character `` is added and only if necessary. Such hyphens are called soft.
`none`	Cancels hyphenation (words will not be hyphenated, even if there are soft hyphens).

Default value: manual.
