Hyphenating hyphenation

This page makes the English hyphenation dictionary visible. A Chrome build with the dictionary can break the word inside a narrow measure; a build without it leaves the word intact and overflowing.

Included in the build

Expected

With English patterns available, the browser has legal break points and inserts line-end hyphens when the measure is tight.

lang="en" hyphens: auto dictionary found

Not included in the build

Failure mode

Without the dictionary, hyphens: auto has no language data to consult. The word stays unbroken and spills past the same boundary.

lang="en" hyphens: auto dictionary absent

What to look for

In a dictionary-enabled Chrome build, the live specimen should wrap `hyphenation` into multiple lines with a hyphen at the line break. In a build missing the dictionary, the live specimen remains one long word and protrudes outside the bracket.

Why the word matters

The demo keeps normal emergency wrapping disabled, so the only clean way for the word to fit is through dictionary-backed automatic hyphenation.
