How do you set type for the web... when you don't know what the text will be (because it's being dynamically generated by AI) and and you /hate it/ when normal responsive type design leaves a ~lonely~ single word on the last line of text.
try this...
// utils.js
export function preventWidow(text) {
const words = text.split(" ");
if (words.length > 1) {
words[words.length - 2] += \u00A0${words.pop()}; // Join the last two words with a non-breaking space
}
return words.join(" ");
}
