    I can’t figure this out..

    I have a simple text and I want to make it centered inside a div with a maximum width (200px). I have display:block and width:200px .
    The text is appearing centered until it reaches the 200px and then it continues in the same line, there’s no break.

    Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

    Why don’t you create a jsfiddle of the problem?

    Well It’s true. This is something that should be easy to implement. For some reason this isn’t working, so maybe someone could have a clue why I’m seeing a different behavior.
    I don’t know what’s funny about that.

    Ok, I know what’s the problem with my jsfiddle example.

    This is the problem:

    If I have a unique bigger word it continues after the 200px width.
