The hyphens property
The hyphens property enables browser
hyphenation using the hyphen "-". To support
the Russian language, you need to add the
lang="ru"
attribute to the tag to which hyphens are applied
(or to the parent of this tag). You can simply
add this attribute to the html tag. Without
this, hyphenation will not work.
Syntax
selector {
hyphens: auto | manual | none;
}
Values
