  Hi,

  Could someone tell me if it is possible to prevent hyphens automatically creating a linebreak?
  The workaround I’ve seen which uses a variation on the hyphen character (‑) is not applicable in my case as I need users to be able to copy the text and have the hyphens remain precisely that.

  Many thanks

  Thanks for your reply.

  However, unless I’m mistaken, that appears to be suggesting workarounds for cases where hyphens are not present in the original string.

  I have hyphens in my original string, and would like to keep them. I just don’t want them to force the part after the hyphen to appear on a new line.

  Regards
