[sword-devel] Soft hyphens

[David Haslam]

I am recommending the complete removal of soft hyphens because their use is a
typographical kludge not semantic construction.

See https://crosswire.org/wiki/Converting_SFM_Bibles_to_OSIS#Soft_hyphens

Being a kludge, there could never be any possibility that any particular
word would always have the soft hyphen. 

They result because the USFM files were derived retrospectively from files
exported from Quark XPress.

It's been a useful discussion, prompted by my assistance to Fr Cyrille with
his LinVB repository in GitLab.

Best regards,

David
