DarkCampainger	Typically you just need to set a width in the container to cause text to wrap. If you want to force a particularly long word to wrap, Hassanjalil's link should work.

Flysbad	I still don't really understand it? I'm a noob when it comes to HTML.

Albro1	A container, like div or span. You can set their width.

Flysbad	A container is a < and a > right? I still don't know what Div or Span is. but is it like <span width=200px> ?

You should be able to do it like this

<div style="width: 200px;word-wrap: break-word;">
all the contents go here
</div>
