My PHP script builds a table that is too wide to fit on the paper. Two
of the columns contain strings that are more lengthy than data in the
other columns.
I can get the table to fit by letting the browser break the lengthy
strings across two or more lines, thus allowing the column to get
skinnier. I do this by inserting spaces in various places in the
string. But this is not a desirable solution as it would mislead the
user into thinking the string contains spaces when it doesn't.
Is there an invisible character code I can insert into the string that
tells the browser that it is allowed to line-wrap the string at this
place, if needed? Popular word processors have a feature like this
called "soft hyphens" or "soft breaks", etc.
