A simple, lightweight block for displaying each line of text at full width, no matter the length of the text. No JavaScript.
Star the project on GitHub: https://github.com/kevinbatdorf/fit-to-width
Note: if you are installing it for the first time from the Block Inserter, WordPress has a bug where it doesn’t load block styles into the iFrame, so you will need to refresh.
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/fit-to-widthdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

I guess that depends on your perspective and legal requirements. First thing I’ll say is that this technique outshines the alternatives, and those alternatives also suffer from the same caveat:
It won’t pass Success Criterion 1.4.4 Resize Text when the zoom is dependent on the viewport.
I’m by no means an expert on this, so if you’re interested in the topic, there’s a good discussion on this GitHub issue: Feature for making text always fit the width of its parent that I recommend reading.
There are arguments that if you maintain a width legible enough then zooming may not be an issue. My advice, however, is that you make sure that your text is able to zoom in up to 2em in size for all screen widths (press cmd/ctrl +/- to test).
