Why does Japanese lack word wrapping?


Why does Japanese ([more or
less](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_breaking_rules_in_East_Asian_languages#Line_breaking_rules_in_Japanese_text_.28Kinsoku_Shori.29))
lack word wrapping, with even words written in katakana broken up by new
lines?




If the text has been laid out properly by a designer the words will wrap right
after the particle for more natural flow (が、を、は etc). For a websites in
Japanese, because there is no whitespace between characters the sentence is
treated as one 'word' and will break wherever it needs to.
