But doing this home by home is slow and expensive. Researchers tried something new: What if you overhaul a whole block at once? (@kqednews.kqed.org)

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.
It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults.
First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)

BTW, I'm as much of a huge fan of APCA as I'm of OKLAB + OKLCH. All those systems that adhere to human perception make so much more sense! 👏🏻
