Well, perhaps I'm not being clear, or perhaps I've misdiagnosed the
problem, but this is what I'm seeing:
Gusts plastered Rand al'Thor's cloak
to his back, whipped the
earth-colored wool around his legs,
then streamed it out behind him. He
And so forth. (Note that this example does not use the word wrap
on hyphen feature). It makes the text look awkward, IMO. :( An
arbitrary hyphenation feature as suggested by Adam might work, but I'm
afraid of where the hyphens might fall ("t-he", for instance).
At any rate, adding the paragraph-end detection seems to fix the problem
(although it does result in large spaces, as Chris pointed out, although
wrapping words on hyphens does alleviate this to some degree):
