1351432 - Implement the break-spaces value of the white-space property

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

This value is described in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#valdef-overflow-wrap-break-spaces, and IIUC could be used to achieve the behavior that the reporter in bug 1343567 was expecting.

I sent an intent-to-implement for Blink: 

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/fP1jDcQu68g/qSjd8EI8BQAJ

They would like to know whether there is enough support from other browser, so it'd be great to have some feedabck, either here or directly in the intent-to-implement discussion.

Jet, can you help find someone to give some feedback?

Comment 3

[Jet Villegas (inactive)]

This specification is currently under consideration. We agree that it enables valid use cases, as described in bug 1343567.

Spec has been updated to move the value to 'white-space' per https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2465#issuecomment-400171764

Chrome and Safari already shipped this feature, are there any plans of Firefox following ? I think this is a small feature that shouldn't be too hard to implement.
