How do I prevent unwanted breaks in texts/headlines?

Depending on your screen size, it may happen that you see unwanted breaks in words (especially long ones), for example in headlines. There is a simple way to make sure words break only where and how you want them to: HTML entities.

There are a lot of interesting HTML entities, however we’d like to highlight two in this context:

 —> Soft Hyphen: Makes sure words break with an “-” if there’s not enough space.

Manage<b>&shy;</b>ment

  —> Non-breaking Space: Prevents breaking between two words.

To use HTML entities in the Block Editor, click on the three dots in the toolbar and select “Edit as HTML”:

You can then insert your HTML entities and revert to the visual editor.
