Re: [elreq] Does Ethiopic text also get wrapped by word? (#116)

Reading the hyphenation section now and focusing on the phrase:

This is certainly the case, samples of this breaking style (arbitrary word split) can be found, but I would think has all but faded out by the end of the 90s with word processor taking over. Line breaking at a word boundary would be a best practice, and expected, in modern writing. Expected to the extent that it should be applied to the reprinting of early works that used the split-anywhere style with white space.
