Yes, but I want to allow line breaks in the middle of those breves if it
makes sense for line breaks to occur there. This is actually the way I had
been doing it, but it is a tedious process of trial and error to figure out
that, e.g., the line should break after "and" in "always and everywhere",
and I'd really like to find a way to make this automatic.
Thanks,
