text-wrap: balance ➶

A CSS rule I did not know existed, useful to avoid orphans — single words after a line break.

Text is wrapped in a way that best balances the number of characters on each line, enhancing layout quality and legibility. Because counting characters and balancing them across multiple lines is computationally expensive, this value is only supported for blocks of text spanning a limited number of lines (six or less for Chromium and ten or less for Firefox).

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {text-wrap:balance;}

Found while fussing with the headline in the prior article.
