Hyphenation and breakpoint

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I have one word I would like to break at a certain point, preferably with a hyphen. How can I do this? I've found no place to add ­ and no settings where I can say I want the hyphenation turned on throughout the site. 

This is what it looks like:

And here's how I want it to look (here I've just typed in a hyphen manually in the text block):

Got a tip from a colleague who had this quick fix:

  • Go to a code editor, for example codepen.io
  • Use the HTML option
  • Type in your word and place ­ where you want the word to break and hyphenate
  • The preview of the word will not show the ­, this is hidden in the text
  • Copy the word from the preview, and paste into your text block in Squarespace (­ will still be attached, but hidden in the text) 


This worked in my case at least, all though I don't know if it has any unforeseen implications.
