Here's proof that modern CSS handles text wrapping beautifully
This text automatically wraps when it reaches the container boundary. No JavaScript needed. No complex calculations. It just works. 这是中文文本,也可以自动换行,没有任何问题。日本語のテキストも自動的に折り返されます。
/* That's it. Literally nothing special needed */
.container { width: 300px; }
This text wraps beautifully around the image using a simple float. The text flows naturally around the floated element. 文字会自动环绕图片,这是CSS最基本的功能之一。Frontend developers have been doing this since the 90s!
img { float: left; margin-right: 10px; }
This text wraps around a circular shape! Modern CSS can wrap text around ANY shape - circles, polygons, even custom paths. 这不是什么黑魔法,就是一行CSS。The shape-outside property makes this trivial.
.circle {
float: left;
shape-outside: circle(50%);
}
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap; /* 就这一行!*/
}
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(100px, 1fr));
}
Type in the box - text wraps automatically as you type!
/* Native textarea behavior - no JS needed for wrapping */
textarea {
width: 100%;
resize: both;
}

.container {
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
}
This text automatically flows into multiple columns like a newspaper. When one column fills up, the text continues in the next column. 这种多栏布局在CSS中只需要一行代码就能实现。No JavaScript. No complex calculations. Pure CSS magic that has been supported for years.
.container {
column-count: 3;
column-gap: 20px;
}
Resize the container above (drag the corner) - items wrap based on container size!
@container (max-width: 300px) {
.items { flex-direction: column; }
}
