WordbreakMiddleware

ASP.NET Core middleware that automatically adds word-break opportunities to long words containing dots in HTML content. This helps prevent layout issues with long domain names, file paths, and similar text that would otherwise overflow their containers.

Installation

dotnet add package WordbreakMiddleware

Quick Start

Add the middleware to your ASP.NET Core pipeline:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

// Add WordbreakMiddleware to the pipeline
app.UseWordBreakMiddleware();

app.Run();

How It Works

The middleware intercepts HTML responses and inserts <wbr> (word break opportunity) tags after dots in long words. For example:

  • verylongdomainname.example.com becomes verylongdomainname.<wbr>example.<wbr>com
  • some.really.long.file.path.txt becomes some.<wbr>really.<wbr>long.<wbr>file.<wbr>path.<wbr>txt

By default, only words with 20+ characters in heading elements (h1-h6) are processed.

Configuration

Customize the middleware behavior:

app.UseWordBreakMiddleware(options =>
{
    // Minimum word length to process (default: 20)
    options.MinimumCharacters = 15;
    
    // Characters to insert at break points (default: "<wbr>")
    options.WordBreakCharacters = "<wbr>";
    
    // Process only HTML content (default: true)
    options.ProcessHtmlOnly = true;
    
    // CSS selector for elements to process (default: "h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6")
    options.CssSelector = "h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .text-break";
});
