I've found a case where <wbr> renders differently in different browsers, and once again I'm wondering why the rendering of <br> and <wbr> is still specified in terms of display-outside, which is not part of CSS currently, and which I doubt was ever in a published CSS standard

Isn't that https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2291 ? I don't know that anyone actually knows how to spec those elements properly

Surely we can do better than using non-existent CSS property

Oh I guess @domenicdenicola:matrix.org: has this old PR that specifies them as "UA magic 🪄" https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2298

It might be good if someone resurrects that to just add a bunch of XXX boxes, instead of using CSS.

<Domenic>
I guess the main open question is what CSS properties apply to those elements

Hmm I feel like that PR is somewhat mergeable as-is, reviewing its contents. Maybe just change one <p> to <p class="XXX">. I think I just wasn't confident enough in my new editorship in 2017 to feel comfortable merging it.

If someone resurrects it I can review and merge.

Lol, Element is not escaping the br in that link preview title

The rendering difference I found is that, with inherited white-space: nowrap, <wbr> in Chromium allows line breaking, but it doesn't in Firefox or Webkit
12:25
<Andreu Botella>
there's a parallel to nobr wbr { white-space: normal }
12:26
<Andreu Botella>
but we can figure this out after the magic PR is merged
