How can I solve the problem of soft hyphens on my web pages? In text, there can be long words which I might want to line break with a hyphen, but I do not want the hyphen to show if the whole word is on the same line. I have heard of ­ and of <wbr>.

How can I use soft hyphens in HTML in a way that works in all browsers?
According to QuirksMode, ­ is supported on all major browsers.
