This replaces usages of the zero-width space character (ZWSP, entity `​`) with the HTML5 `<wbr>` element. `<wbr>` acts as a word break opportunity without adding characters to the text content like ZWSP does. It is supported in all modern browsers, the only browser I know of which doesn't support is are old versions of Internet Explorer.
