With CSS can I make a browser ignore the character but respect normal white space?
So this:
Some text More text
Is displayed like this:
Some text More text
Not:
Some text More text
UPDATE There is actually more white space in my code. I need the default behavior where extra white space doesn't get rendered on the page so I dont think I can use white-space: pre or pre-wrap
So this shouldn't be excessively indent before the initial word.
Some text More text
I don't think there's a pure CSS way of doing that, since is an actual character that is different from the whitespace created by the spacebar in a text editor (what gets ignored by HTML renderers). However, depending on how those are appearing, you may be able to use a script that searches for and removes that character wherever it sees it.

I have a component with tooltip icon when there is an error.
The problem starts when the text for the tooltip includes a one large word (without spaces).
In such case the text inside the tooltip box exceed the borders.
Please see this sandbox:

By default, word breaks on a new line if it is long enough that there is no space left for it to be on the same line. Since you are typing one long word it can't find a new word to break on so it goes over the box.
What you can do is instead breaking on a word you can break on a letter
word-wrap: break-word;
Add that CSS to text. When it runs out of space for new letter it will go to next line.

Hope this helps :)
Is there a way to adjust the line height in SSRS? I have a requirement on a legal document to have a bigger line height.
From what I have read, the Textbox.LineHeight property only affects html. I have converted the text inside the textbox to html, set the LineHeight property, but nothing changed.
I also tried adding custom CSS to the report (using old school line-height: {x} pt; inside a style tag), but to no avail - that isn't supported in the SSRS environment.
Here is an example what I need - How can I achieve this?
Before:

Does SSRS even support this?
Edit
Converting the text to an expression and adding a double VbCrLf will not be feasible as I need to only add a partial line height
You could add an expression on the Padding.Bottom property.
=IIF(IncreaseHeight, "20pt", "2pt")
If the text is already multiple lines, format the textbox to accept HTML. Replace the line breaks with a white character in a larger font followed by a <br/> tag.
<span style=""font-size=12pt; color:white;"">|</span><br/>
If your text is all on the same line, do the above for each space in your text. Using a bar "|" should be enough to represent the space between words. If not, use a thicker character.
I have a table in a fieldset that is not displayed properly (overflow) because of a long file name that I cannot wrap. Is there a way to wrap the file name that is in the table?
<table>
<tr><td>stackoverflow.com/questions/4584756/how-can-i-make-the-datagridviewtextboxcolumn-wrap-to-a-new-line-if-its-text-is-t</td></tr>
</table>
I set the width and overflow style on the td element and still no help. Any other ideas?
you can try this in css word-wrap:break-word (set a width too. This is CSS3 so might not work in older browsers)
check word wrap in css / js
This is what worked for me :
<td style='word-break:break-all'>
T1_C50621021900010788086700100001010000000072101000072_E107880867_R115710745_F20190221.pdf
</td>
The word-break:break-all literally breaks the long filename into pieces, each piece with same width except the last one, with an automatic width chosen by the browser (I guess you can experiment with a custom width).
In general, a browser will only wrap a text string at a space. So to get it to wrap, you'd have to insert spaces. In principle, you could check if the length is over some value and if so insert a space at a specified point, or add a space after every slash, or something like that. But if the field is updatable, you'd have to be sure to remove these spaces on input. And if the user is going to cut and paste this field, he'd get mysterious extra spaces.
Have you tried this selector property and value?
element
{
white-space: inherit;
}
<table><tr><td style="overflow-x: auto">your file name</td></tr></table>
This will wrap it in next line automatically
In a case like this, some browsers will not break the string at all by default, some will break after a hyphen “-”, some may also break after a slash “/”. If you really need to have a long filename in a table cell, you need to decide what you want—what would be the least of evils.
After the decision, use nobr markup to prevent line breaks and wbr markup to allow them, or their character-level or CSS counterparts (which work less widely). There are many nasty details involved; see my page on preventing and allowing line breaks.
Breaking after “-” is problematic because the reader won’t know whether the hyphen has been introduced in word hyphenation or is part of the filename itself. Then again, does this matter? What is the reader supposed to do with the long filename? In this case, the “filename” looks really like a URL without the “http://” part, and in such cases, it is better to use a descriptive link text (which may wrap freely) and put the URL where it belongs, an href attribute.
I have a small space in which I would like to put writing. Problem is, if a long word is inputted, it flows off the side because there is no space.
I could do overflow:hidden, but this isn't what I am looking for. Ideally I would like the word to drop to a new line with a - before it.
The word is on a line of its own to begin with so a <br/> will not fix the problem.
word-wrap:break-word in CSS does this (ok, without the - in the newline), but it had some browser issues back when I tried it, so be careful ;).
Second solution is wrapping letters in text (or packets of 3 or 5 letters etc.)in <span></span> so that they'll wrap but have no spaces when fitting the line.
to add the hyphen You could then use jquery and search for elements having certain left offset to prepend hyphens.
Okay, so it seems, for some reason (I might be doing it wrong, obviously), that I have some problem wrapping continuous lines, using Asp.net.
Let's say I have 800 pixels worth of the "m" character, well, my table cell gets extended to that length. I don't want that, I want the cell to automatically break the continuous line after 300px.
To do that, I tried to apply the word-wrap:break-word css style. Didn't work. Now what?
Do I parse the line, to insert explicit linebreaks after a certain number of characters? That doesn't seem very clean to me. Any ideas?
You can insert a <wbr> (little known html element) every few m's. It's not 100% compatible with everything, but it works in most browsers:
<wbr> (word break) means: "The browser may insert a line break here, if it wishes." It the browser does not think a line break necessary nothing happens.
So you would do something like this:
mmmmmmmmm<wbr>mmmmmmmmmm<wbr>mmmmmmmmmmm<wbr> (etc.)
Here's some more info: http://www.quirksmode.org/oddsandends/wbr.html
Do you really have 800px of "m" or is that just test data? If that is real data then yes you will have to create some whitespace in there somewhere. HTML parsers don't wrap text that overflows an element unless that text has spaces in it that allow the text to be wrapped.
If the m's are a test string and do not reflect real data I would suggest you use some dummy text (like Lorem Ipsum) to test with as it has spacing more akin to regular text.
