Is there anyway to use discretionary linebreaks in docbook? I.e., if I have text that includes

one-two-three

or

one/two

I'd like the backend to be able to insert linebreaks after either of the hyphens in the first instance, or after the slash in the second.. In TeX you can do this by using "\discretionary". Is there anyway to pass this sort of thing through docbook2dvi to LaTeX, which I think jade is running under the covers?

Thanks,
Chris Moller
