Mark Craig commented on FOP-2358:
---------------------------------
[~jgoncalves] when I download the [Wikipedia page about the soft
hyphen|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen] as a PDF (Tools > Download as
PDF) and open the PDF, I can copy the long example towards the top of the page.
It doesn't include the spaces after the soft hyphens when I paste it into a
text editor.
Here's the text as it is today:

> Soft hyphen is rendered as hyphen + space.
> As a result, when the text that originally contained a soft hyphen is copied
> and pasted to an editor capable of ignoring soft hyphens or recalculating the
> hyphenation, the "hard" hyphen remains.
> This is particularly unhelpful in hyphenated literals such as URLs or OIDs,
> where adding a hyphen + space means that the copy is broken.
