     10[http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/ CSS3 Text] defines a set of rules governing [http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#line-break-details default line breaking behavior], some of which is very specific, i.e., testable and repeatable among browsers, and some of which is generic, i.e., not standardized. An example of the former is that the non-tailorable line breaking classes defined by the Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm, Unicode Technical Report #14 [http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ UAX14], must be honored; an example of the latter is that [http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#soft-wrap-opportunity soft break opportunities] are not concretely defined.

    1012=== The `line-break` property ===
     13
     14In order to customize line breaking behavior, CSS3 Text intorduces the inheritable [http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#line-break line-break] property, with the following standard values:
     15
     16 * `auto`
     17 * `loose`
     18 * `normal`
     19 * `strict`
     20
     21If not specified, the initial (default) value is `auto`.

    1223=== The former `-webkit-line-break` property ===
    1324
     25For some time now, WebKit has supported a non-standard `-webkit-line-break` property, based on the earlier `-khtml-line-break` property, which accepted one of two values:
     26
     27 * `normal` (default)
     28 * `after-white-space`
     29
    1430=== The new `-webkit-line-break` property ===
     31
     32With the introduction of CSS3 Text features, and since its properties have not yet been designated non-prefixed by the CSS Working Group, it is necessary to merge the value space of the former `-webkit-line-break` property and the new `line-break` property into a newly defined `-webkit-line-break` property that accepts the following values:
     33
     34 * `auto` (default)
     35 * `loose`
     36 * `normal`
     37 * `strict`
     38 * `after-white-space`
     39
     40Note that this functional merger results in the value `auto` being returned as the default value instead of the former `normal` value.
