Hi,

My problem is that say I have a very long word to be fit into a limited space. Now I want to break the word in the first line and begin the rest of the word from the following line. How can
I do that so that the user understands that they are two parts of the same word and not two different words? I mean which notation should I use that indicates the occurrence of a word break? Moreover if I use, say, a hyphen as the notation, there should be some confusion if the word itself might contain a hyphen. So I need to accommodate that possibility too. Besides, the user is assumed to be as naive as possible. Hence the notation should be a widely understood one.

Thanks in advance.

The hyphen is the correct notation when splitting a word...even when the word itself is hyphenated.
