[NTG-context] hyphenation question

[NTG-context] hyphenation question

[Hans van der Meer via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 523 bytes --]

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?

yours sincerely
dr. Hans van der Meer

Yes, that is a possibilty that did not escape me. But this is but an example. In those documents such abbreviations are quite common and frequent. 
I hoped therefore to find a generic solution!
