I think what you mean is "soft hyphen" (U+00AD) in Unicode (­ in
HTML) [1]. The problem is that this character is not yet treated as it
should be in Apache FOP. TextLayoutManager would need to be extended to
handle it. Basically, the same Knuth elements need to be generated as
for the hyphenation points and the character needs to be recognized as
break character. Shouldn't be too hard to implement. Anyone want to try?
