   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.
