breakline immedeiately after the hard-hyphen

abc
Hi,

I have a hard hyphens (hyphenated words) in my book. What I am looking for is that when the hyphenated word flow towards the end of line on a page,
I would like to break the word after hyphens. for ex. twenty-eight should break at twenty-

I have hyphen setting as hyphens:auto, I also know that it works if I change auto to manual for particular instance.

I am expecting that to break at hyphens in order to avoid extra hyphen like this twenty-ei-ght, while still on hyphens auto setting.

Is that possible?

Thank you for your help!

We've never had any particular problem with hyphenated phrases themselves being hyphenated. This is producing hundreds of books per year over the last six years. I believe the hyphenation and justification code tries very hard to avoid this.

If you run into a very weird situation where such a break happens, you can add a span with hyphens: none.
