Description

Reduces text widows and orphans in Clerk UI by setting text-wrap centrally on the two legacy text primitives: Heading uses text-wrap: balance (evens out line lengths on short titles) and Text uses text-wrap: pretty (prevents widows on longer body copy). Applying this in the primitives' base styles covers every heading and text element without per-component edits, and it's a progressive enhancement that falls back to normal wrapping in browsers without support. This is purely cosmetic and backwards-compatible.

Description

Reduces text widows and orphans in Clerk UI by setting text-wrap centrally on the two legacy text primitives: Heading uses text-wrap: balance (evens out line lengths on short titles) and Text uses text-wrap: pretty (prevents widows on longer body copy). Applying this in the primitives' base styles covers every heading and text element without per-component edits, and it's a progressive enhancement that falls back to normal wrapping in browsers without support. This is purely cosmetic and backwards-compatible.

Description

Reduces text widows and orphans in Clerk UI by setting text-wrap centrally on the two legacy text primitives: Heading uses text-wrap: balance (evens out line lengths on short titles) and Text uses text-wrap: pretty (prevents widows on longer body copy). Applying this in the primitives' base styles covers every heading and text element without per-component edits, and it's a progressive enhancement that falls back to normal wrapping in browsers without support. This is purely cosmetic and backwards-compatible.

I’m a rabbit with neatly wrapped prose,
Balanced headings in rows,
Pretty text hops along,
No lonely words go wrong—
Ears up for the changeset’s song!
