If a word on a text input line contains a hyphen, a formatter may decide

to insert an output line break after the hyphen if that helps filling

the current output line, but the whole word would overflow the line.

If it is important that the word is not broken across lines in this

way, a zero-width space

.Pq Sq \e&

can be inserted before or after the hyphen.

While

.Xr mandoc 1

never breaks the output line after hyphens adjacent to a zero-width

space, after any of the other dash- or hyphen-like characters

represented by escape sequences, or after hyphens inside words in

macro arguments, other software may not respect these rules and may

break the line even in such cases.

.Pp

Some

.Xr roff 7

implementations contains dictionaries allowing to break the line

at syllable boundaries even inside words that contain no hyphens.

Such automatic hyphenation is not supported by

.Xr mandoc 1 ,

which only breaks the line at whitespace, and inside words only

after existing hyphens.

The en-dash is used to separate the two elements of a range,

or can be used the same way as an em-dash.

It should be written as

Line 111 But currently, no practically relevant manual page for

requires that subtlety, so in manual pages just write plain

.Sq -

to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.
