What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Values

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

• auto

  Text does not wrap across lines. It will overflow its containing element rather than breaking onto a new line.

  but

  <div style="text-wrap-style:auto;width:3em;">hello world</div>

  is 2 lines (testing with librewolf 125.0.3-1)

• pretty

  Results in the same behavior as wrap, except that the user agent will use a slower algorithm that favors better layout over speed. This is intended for body copy where good typography is favored over performance (for example, when the number of orphans should be kept to a minimum).

  stable

  Results in the same behavior as wrap, except that when the user is editing the content, the lines that come before the lines they are editing remain static rather than the whole block of text re-wrapping.

  same behavior as wrap doesn't make sense because text-wrap-style:wrap; is invalid
