CSS hyphens Property

Last Updated : 27 Aug, 2024

The Hyphens Property in CSS tells us how the words should be hyphenated to create soft wrap opportunities within words.

Syntax:

 hyphens: none|manual|auto|initial|inherit;

Property Values:

  • none: This property means that the words are not hyphenated.
  • manual: This is the default property value. It means that the words are only hyphenated when the characters inside the word suggest hyphenation opportunities.
  • auto: This property lets the algorithm break the words at appropriate hyphenation points.
  • initial: The initial property value sets the property to its default value.
  • inherit: It inherits the property from its parent element.

Example 1:  In this example, we are using the above-explained method.
