wo in cms kann ich diese Seite zugreifen?

https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_overflow-wrap.php sadly is only available with CSS 3. The module only supports CSS 2. I was wondering if we can solve this by allowing ​ (zero width space characters) in long links as a workaround. I tried to insert them but they get stripped from the HTML code. But that does not work as well.

There is a discussion on the similar issue:
xhtml2pdf/xhtml2pdf#339

But the proposed property '-pdf-word-wrap: CJK;' only works for 'div' and 'p' elements.
I couldn't get it to apply to links.

I know this is far from ideal, but until a fix (eventually) lands in xhtml2pdf, could we not simply truncate links over a certain length?

E.g. turn https://thisisaverylonglink.com/it/just/keeps/going/on/and/on/and/on/and/on/and/on/and/on/and/so/forth/etc/etc/etc/etc/enough.html

into either

https://thisisaverylonglink.com/it/just/keeps/going/on/and/on/and[...]

or

https://thisisaverylonglink.com/[...]

or even just

https://thisisaverylonglink.com/

?

Edit: obviously, the target must not be affected.

For consistency, we could also truncate all links, and add an icon in front of them similar to what's been done in digitalfabrik/integreat-app#815 Ah, forgot this was already happening.
