[xep-support] Hyphenation tip

Hello,

I have another issue in narrow table columns, where extra long line of text is used. It is obvious that line must be wrapped, but it is hyphenated on strange position. If soft hyphen characters are added, they are not preffered and some unknown logic behind is used instead.

Example:
UploadVcsPath, with soft hyphens Upload-Vcs-Path is broken to UploadVc-sPath
LogOutAction, with soft hyphens Log-Out-Action is broken to LogOutAc-tion

Can this behaviour be improved somehow?

Thanks in advance for your tips.

Jan
