[jira] [Commented] (FOP-2358) Soft hyphen is not retained on copy/paste

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2358?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18031979#comment-18031979 ] 

Mark Craig commented on FOP-2358:
---------------------------------

[~jgoncalves] when I download the [Wikipedia page about the soft hyphen|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen] as a PDF (Tools > Download as PDF) and open the PDF, I can copy the long example towards the top of the page. It doesn't include the spaces after the soft hyphens when I paste it into a text editor.

Here's the text as it is today:

> Soft hyphen is rendered as hyphen + space.
> As a result, when the text that originally contained a soft hyphen is copied and pasted to an editor capable of ignoring soft hyphens or recalculating the hyphenation, the "hard" hyphen remains.
> This is particularly unhelpful in hyphenated literals such as URLs or OIDs, where adding a hyphen + space means that the copy is broken.
