Allow hyphenation after "underscore" (_)

Allow hyphenation after "underscore" (_)

[varheit]

Hi,

I am processing documents from XML sources that contain
lots of words like BLABLA_VERY_LONG_COMPLICATED_WORD.
How can I (globally) enable hyphenation after underscores without
changing the source?

I know that I could replace underscores with some sort of XML
entity like &underscore; and map this to some TeX code using
\discretionary..., but I want to avoid using that.

Thanks for any help on that issue.

test|\_|test

\defineXMLentity[underscore] {\discretionarycommand|\_|}

\startXMLdata
test&underscore;test
\stopXMLdata
