letterpress
A tiny typography utility library
Methods
tidyLines
This function prevents Runts: when a single word wrapping to a new line by itself. This is done by inserting the HTML entity for a non-breaking space ( ) in place of the last space.
If there's room for all the words on a given line, there will be no visible effect. Screen readers will treat this character as they would any other space.
