words overflow

[tshepang]

#33 introduced an issue where words overflow:

See these words: building, build, and nix.

I think it just needs to set some word-wrapping somewhere in the CSS

[nyarvin]

The culprit is line 48 of sass/_main.sass:

  word-break: break-all;

Deleting that line fixes it.

There are other places in that file where the same line appears, but this is the one that applies to links in particular. Possibly the others should be fixed too. (Obviously this was someone's design decision, but it seems hard to regard it as anything but a bug: if your link text is so long and obscure that it's hard to wrap it, that should be your problem; don't fix it by randomly cutting in half other people's words.)

@nyarvin can you do a PR?

[jclinton]

Did the merge fix this? I'm still seeing this at HEAD

Actually, the only place I see the problem is on the About page and I just realized that word-break: break-all; was left in _main.scss on .about p > a line 277. What's was this line intended to help with?

No clue, it's pretty old
