-------------------------------------------------------------
Look at the screenshots I had in my last comment.
In the upper example in each screenshot it is only not shown on line-end - and
that is correct - as the {{hyphenation-character}} is set to empty value.
To reduce your confusion and uncertainty, I added the lower example, where you
see that where it should be shown it still shown even with my patch.
That is on line-end where the word was split due to SHY.

> Key: FOP-2522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2522
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Björn Kautler
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: image-2024-01-17-14-48-50-945.png,

> If you have a verbatim block like {{<programlisting>}} in DocBook, the
> DocBook XSL stylesheets insert many soft hypens
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+00AD) into the content to show where the
> FO-processor may insert linebreaks. By default after spaces and non-breakable
> spaces, but configurable also after arbitrary other characters.
> Unfortunately it seems FOP does not handle the soft hyphens correctly,
> depending on the character that follows it. Soft Hyphens in front of some
> characters are transformed to hyphen-minus, no matter what
> hyphenation-characters is configured and even if the occurence is within a
> line and not at line break.
> I've observed this behaviour with soft hyphens in front of apostrophe
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+0027), quotation mark
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+0022), hyphen-minus
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+002D) and full stop
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+002E)
