Description
Clear and concise description of the problem
End-of-line word-breaks should be used sparingly. It can reduce the readability if used too much. Most of the content in the digital world just let the text wrap instead of breaking words. We should follow that convention.
Suggested solution
I suggest turn off word breaking for content page but leave it on for descriptions where space efficiency is more important.
Example content
| Word breaking on (current) | Word breaking off (suggested) |
|---|---|
It's much more natural to see the typesetting on the right.
Example description
| Word breaking on (current, keep it) | Word breaking off |
|---|---|
IMO it's ok to break words in the description of the feed as we need the space.
