Such as in pramanavarttikavrtti.pdf p.12:

Line 1112 of the tex file:

Here I believe the \color is the culprit, but the \footnote just before it would have the same effect. One solution would be to avoid it as far as possible in the xml, in some places that might be possible, but surely not in all. A workaround might be possible, theoretically, but AFAIK doesn't exist yet.

This won't really work in LaTeX. See your question here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/299896/edtext-breaks-hyphenation-of-a-word

Only real option is to write a preprocessor that converts the xml to something that latex can break (inserting break-allowed here or something).

I'm now hopeful this can be solved with relative ease in latex. I'll test it a bit and let you know.

please reopen when you have more feedback, or a proper latex solution. as it stands, i think this is nothing we can fix in either xslt or the xml sources.
