    How do you wrap long words in CSS?

    None of the solutions are perfect, but we have some options

    Horizontal text overflow has always been difficult to manage on the web. The default visible overflow is designed to make sure content remains accessible no matter the size of a containing box, but it’s not our only option.

    Scroll Snap in CSS

    Without any JavaScript or “scrolljacking”

    Subgrid for Better Card Layouts

    and fallbacks for legacy browsers

    What does revert do in CSS?

    And how is it different from unset or initial?
