Whitespace and normal dashes (-) are already multi-line breakpoints, but this template allows the special insertion of invisible breakpoints inside words.

The zero-width space character has a higher breaking priority than the dash character (-), so when using it in a phrase with dashes, it is recommended to place a zero-width space immediately after each dash as well.
