fix(css): overflow-wrap applies to text elements (mdn#705)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
### Description

According to the current standard, the property is not applied to inline
elements, but to text. See:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#overflow-wrap-property

### Motivation

Aligning MDN documentation with current version of W3C standard.

### Additional details

In the [2018
version](https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/WD-css-text-3-20180920/#ref-for-inline-box⑦)
of the "CSS Text Module Level 3", the `overflow-wrap` property was
applied to _inline boxes_. This was updated in the [2020
revision](https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/CR-css-text-3-20201222/#overflow-wrap-property),
changing its application to _text_.
