I have long non-word string values in a table that are running off the page.
Most of these values contain no spaces at all.
I would like them to wrap to the next line in the same cell, without
inserting a hyphen or other character.
If you insert the zero-width space character (using ​ or ​)
periodically through the string, then it will break at this character where
necessary and any others where it is not necessary will not be seen.
I used this in very long URL strings, adding this character after every
slash. Where it isn't needed it isn't seen and where there needs to be a
break it happens right after the slash.
It is a very clean approach, visually.
I hope this helps.
