handle end-of-line hyphenation #69

Closed JonathanReeve closed 7 years ago

JonathanReeve commented 7 years ago

We have a few options here:

use <pc force="weak">-</pc> in the TEI, which can transform into a soft hyphen or  entity.
use the soft hyphen unicode character

The unicode character is more in keeping with our methodology thus far (using, say, quotation dashes in unicode instead of XML/HTML entity codes), but definitely harder to read and spot in the code.

It's probably best to replace these manually, by checking against the Norton or Viking editions.

Abandoning this issue in favor of #70.
