Emil Kowalski(@emilkowalski):I’m like 98% sure that you should set `text-wrap: pretty;` by default globally in your app. It gives you nicer line breaks (avoids orphans),which is what you want most of the time. Then fix the edge cases where orphans are actually what you need like some headings (edge case!).
