Function name `ModPow` may break into `Mod` and `Pow` depending on display resolution or zoom

[Wolf-SO]

Type of issue

Typo

Description

This is what the HTML source looks like:

<h1>Big<wbr>Integer.<wbr>Mod<wbr>Pow(BigInteger, BigInteger, BigInteger) Method</h1>

In my opinion, it makes little sense to elegantly wrap identifiers in documentation for the sake of a nicer presentation.

I assume this applies to all docs. @gewarren might know the reason.

Hmm, I hadn't seen those word break opportunity tags before. @kexugit Can you comment on whether this is the desired outcome?

Here is an old thread about <wbr> tags within function names, which may be of interest: MicrosoftDocs/feedback#1835.

@svick Thanks for the link. But unfortunately, I don't see anything productive in this issue.

Perhaps it might make the discussion more focused to ask: Why are these <wbr> inside identifiers at all? Should they maybe prevent breaks after the opening parenthesis? If so, why?

[gewarren]

Thanks. I've reopened the internal work item.
