To style the text in an HTML embed on Webflow and make it wrap and stop abruptly on the right margin, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the HTML embed element on your Webflow canvas or in the elements panel.
  2. In the Styles panel, click on the gear icon next to the class name to access the additional styles for the HTML embed element.
  3. Inside the additional styles interface, you can apply CSS to the HTML embed element.

To make the text wrap and stop abruptly, you can use the CSS overflow-wrap property. Here's how you can do it:

  1. In the additional styles interface, click on the "New CSS Rule" button.
  2. In the CSS rule dialog, select the HTML embed element as the affected element.
  3. In the CSS rule field, enter the following code:
word-wrap: break-word;
  1. Click on the "Save" button to apply the CSS rule to the HTML embed element.

The word-wrap: break-word; CSS property allows long words to be broken and wrap onto the next line, respecting the right margin of the container.

To further customize the appearance, you can apply additional styles to the HTML embed element. For example, you can change the font, font size, or add padding to the container to create space around the text.

Remember to publish your changes for them to take effect on your live site.

Additional Tips:

  • You can also set a specific width for the HTML embed element to control the wrapping behavior.
  • It's recommended to test your changes across different screen sizes and devices to ensure a responsive design.
