I think copying the character is correct behavior. To achieve
line-breaking control without copy-n-paste artifacts, use CSS:
<style type="Text/css">
.word:after {
content: '\200b';
}
</style>
<span class="word">/foo</span><span class="word">/bar</span><span
class="word">/baz</span>
If you want the same behavior in msie, you'll need to insert <wbr />
elements at the end of each span.
Thanks very much for this. I did not know about the wbr element;
it works both in msie and in Mozilla c.s. Rather useful I think,
but it is not standard; if I use it my page is no longer validated
as 'correct' HTML by W3C.
So I'll go the route with CSS. It is a lot more work, and msie
(even version 7) ignores it, but I'll just leave the msie users to
fend for themselves I think.
