In the 18th century documents I am transcribing often words are abbreviated as for example voorschreeve becoming voors: In the transcription it is usual to write this as voors[chreeve] indicating to the reader how the abbreviation was interpreted.

The problem then arises with hyphenation, because voors[chreeve]  in the example will not be hyphenated as if the []'s were absent. Which is what I would like to happen.

Question: is it possible to realize this and how?
