+# Make A Block Of Text Respect New Lines
+
+Generally when we fill a `div` tag full of text, it will display it one long
+strand irrespective of any line breaks that are included. This is a great
+default, but not necessarily what we want when we are displaying text from
+another source, such as our users.
+
+We can convince a block of text to respect new lines by adding a couple CSS
+properties.
+
+```css
+.multiline-text {
+  word-wrap: break-word;
+  white-space: pre-line;
+}
+```
+
+The first rule, `word-wrap: break-word`, ensures that long lines of text
+uninterrupted by new lines respect the boundaries of our wrapping element.
+The second rule, `white-space: pre-line`, handles squashing of extra white
+space and respecting of new lines.
+
+See a [working example here](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/bQpKyv).
