Re: [docbook-apps] Re: Table cell text overlapes with table border...docbook 1.74.3

Hi,

Since it’s not a regular word it can’t be hyphenated; you must specify
yourself the places where it is allowed to break. If you want a hyphen
to be visible when the text is broken you can use the soft hyphen
character (U+00AD). Otherwise you can use a zero-width space (U+200B).

HTH,
Vincent
