I thought I read somewhere, perhaps in the book for literary braille 
transcription, that there is no dividing of words at the end of lines in UEB. 
If I'm wrong, please forgive me.

Subject: [duxuser] Question re: dividing hyphenated words between lines

 

I have noticed that DBT doesn't automatically split hyphenated words between 
lines. Usually I leave it that way, but we are working on "James and the Giant 
Peach" which has a character named Old-Green-Grasshopper. DBT keeps pushing the 
entire name (22 cells) to a new line instead of splitting it between lines, 
leaving big holes in the text. Is there a formatting command or setting that I 
can use to get it to split the name after one of the hyphens?
