## Topics

### Getting the line-break styles

[`pushOut`](/documentation/AppKit/NSParagraphStyle/LineBreakStrategy-swift.struct/pushOut)

The text system pushes out individual lines to avoid an orphan word on the last line of the paragraph.

[`hangulWordPriority`](/documentation/AppKit/NSParagraphStyle/LineBreakStrategy-swift.struct/hangulWordPriority)

The text system prohibits breaking between Hangul characters.

[`standard`](/documentation/AppKit/NSParagraphStyle/LineBreakStrategy-swift.struct/standard)

The text system uses the same configuration of line-break strategies that it uses for standard UI labels.

[`NSLineBreakStrategyNone`](/documentation/AppKit/NSLineBreakStrategy/NSLineBreakStrategyNone)

The text system doesn’t use any line-break strategies.

### Creating a line-break style

[`init(rawValue:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSParagraphStyle/LineBreakStrategy-swift.struct/init(rawValue:))

Creates a line-break strategy with the specified raw value.
