How to break words within a paragraph.

If both this property and line-break are left unset the "auto" value evaluates to "-bfo-legacy", which will result in the same algorithm as was used in the Report Generator prior to 1.1.62. If either word-break or line-break are set to a value other than "auto", then "auto" is equivalent to "normal".

Values have the meanings defined in css-text-3, except that the "break-word" value for "word-break" is not supported.

The "normal" value means text can break at white-space for most languages, or between ideographs for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.

The "break-all" value uses the Chinese/Japanese/Korean line-break rules for all languages

The "keep-all" value will force Chinese/Japanese/Korean text to break at whitespace only.
