While there's not a way to control the line breaks in the course title, you'll see an improvement if you use both uppercase and lowercase letters. Would that be an option for you?
I have the same issue but I'm already using both upper and lowercase letters. One letter still jumps down on some browsers. Am I stuck? I can't change the wording because it's the name of a product.
Hi, Jack. Are you on a Windows machine? You should be able to type alt+0173 to enter the soft hyphen.
We've tested this on a Windows keyboard (using the numeric keypad), and you can directly enter the soft hyphen to your course titles, lesson titles, and text blocks. The hyphen should only appear when changing the browser size forces a line break. Otherwise, there will be no space or indication that the hyphen is there.
Hi Sindy! Does your course title have a long word that is breaking in the wrong place?
If so, place your cursor in the Rise title area in the middle of the word where you prefer for it to break. Hold the alt key and type 0173 on your numeric keypad (on the side of your Windows keyboard) while your cursor is where you prefer the hyphen to appear. It won't appear to add a hyphen in your word until you preview the course and the word is forced to break.
We discovered this particular alt code workaround to solve this customer's issue, but it isn't documented in our help center. In our experience, the alt code works for both the course title and lesson titles.
I can't use the workaround. Has this issue been resolved yet? It would be great if I could just change the font size slightly. The word Understanding should not be hyphenated on a course that is developed by an education department
While there isn't a way to adjust the font size of the title text, would you be able to change the heading font? The built-in font "Lato" is more narrow than the font you're using, and it might be a better choice for a heading font!

Hi Martin!

Yes, that is a good workaround. Thanks Alyssa.

Hyphenation is a real problem in the sidebar menu.

Super Alyssa and thank you for your tip, It is very helpful.
For a long time, hyphenation is a problem in e-learning with mobile devices.
We are running into the same issue. It'd be ideal if Rise would adjust the text size depending on the length of the title.
I hear you, Daniel. Thanks for letting us know this is giving you trouble.
In the meantime, can you try the soft hyphen solution I shared above? At least that way you can control where the hyphen appears.
Im confused on how this work around is applied to a course title. Where do you need to be to apply this Alt command?
