Template:Wbr/doc: Difference between revisions

This template encapsulates the code <code><nowiki><wbr />&#8203;</nowiki></code>, i.e. the HTML5 [[Wikipedia:HTML element#wbr|line break opportunity element]] followed by the HTML character entity for the {{Unichar|200B|ZERO WIDTH SPACE}} character. This approach is superior to using either one or the other in isolation, for increased browser support. The {{tag|wbr|s}} element is compatible with all browsers except [[Internet Explorer]] inclusive of and {{em|since}} version 7 ({{as of|lc=y|2015|09}}). Meanwhile, the ZWS character is compatible with all browsers except Internet Explorer {{em|earlier than}} (but not inclusive of) version 7. Thus, between the two approaches, the dual use of which has no ill effects, this template works in all browsers still likely to be in use, including Internet Explorer regardless of version.
