I had a content creator hugging me when I introduced ­ to her. It's suuuper useful. Especially in Danish, where we concatenate nouns, like "Speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode"

You would need put your iPhone 13 Ultra Max in landscape mode for that, weren't it for ­

Also CSS hyphenation actually works surprisingly well in Danish. It's not perfect, but a lot better than any horizontal scrollbar.

<wbr> is new to me, and will come in handy for those long urls. Always learning something new :) Thank you!

Oh wow, that's GREAT news, Bjarne! I knew German was plagued with long words, but I didn't know that was true for Danish as well. Share that tip with all of your developer friends! (I might have to borrow Speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode for future teaching examples 😁 )
