CSS line break tags
CSS Line Break Tags
In web development, you often need to control text wrapping. CSS provides multiple ways to achieve text wrapping. This article will introduce the CSS line break tags in detail.
1. Using the white-space Property
The white-space property controls how whitespace is handled within an element. The pre value preserves line breaks and spaces. Here is a sample code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
html>
<head>
<style>
.pre {
white-space: pre;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="pre">geek-docs.com

</html>
Output:
In the example above, white-space: pre; preserves line breaks, and the text wraps after geek-docs.com.

}
</style>
</head>
<body>
