Overview

This snippet fixes awkward line breaks, especially the annoying “orphan” word problem where one tiny word ends up alone on a new line looking lost and unloved.

balance is used for headings because titles should look visually even, not like one long line with a sad little word underneath it.

For example, instead of a heading breaking like:

“Design your future
today”

it tries to balance it into something cleaner like:

“Design your
future today”

pretty is used for paragraphs and lists because it focuses on reading comfort, keeping text from breaking in strange places or creating ugly spacing inside sentences.
