Is there a way to add forced line breaks to fix copy layout issues in Webflow on mobile without affecting the desktop layout?

Yes, there is a way to add forced line breaks in Webflow to address copy layout issues on mobile without impacting the desktop layout. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Identify the element that has the copy layout issue on mobile. This could be a paragraph, heading, or any other text element.

2. Select the element and navigate to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.

3. In the Styles panel, click on the "+" button to create a new CSS property.

4. Enter the property name as "white-space" and set its value to "pre-wrap". This property allows the text to wrap according to the specified line breaks.

5. Next, go to the mobile breakpoint by toggling the device icons at the top of the Designer.

6. Adjust the width of the element if needed to accommodate the forced line breaks. You can drag the edges of the element to adjust its width specifically for the mobile view.

7. Apply line breaks in the copy by inserting a double space where you want the line break to occur. For example, you can add a double space after a sentence or a specific phrase to create a line break.

8. Preview the changes in the mobile view to ensure that the forced line breaks have resolved the copy layout issue without affecting the desktop layout.

By using the "white-space" CSS property with the value "pre-wrap" and inserting double spaces in the copy, you can selectively introduce line breaks on mobile without influencing the desktop layout. This method provides flexibility and control over the text layout for different screen sizes while maintaining consistency across devices.
