The tests

In these tests, I have placed 7 soft hyphens within a particularly long word. The tests are repeated using the ­ and ­ entities and thirdly by coding a <br/> in the middle of the word

In all cases, where a line is broken at a soft hyphen, a hyphen character must be displayed at the end of the first line. If a line is not broken at a soft hyphen, the user agent must not display a hyphen character.
