html (+css): denoting a preferred place for a line break

Question

Let\'s say I have this text that I want to display in an HTML table cell:

Honey Nut Cheerios, Wheat Chex, Grape-Nuts, Rice Krispies, Some random cereal with          


        

Answer 1

New answer now we have HTML5:

HTML5 introduces the tag. (It stands for Word Break Opportunity.)

Adding a tells the browser to break there before anywhere else, so it's easy to make words break after commas:

Honey Nut Cheerios, Wheat Chex, Grape-Nuts, Rice Krispies, Some random cereal with a very long name, Honey Bunches of Oats, Wheaties, Special K, Froot Loops, Apple Jacks

It is supported my all major browsers apart from IE.
