	Hyphens
		This may be because the hyphen has no analogue in speech; it is punctuation created purely by the needs of print.
		The tendency is for compounds to begin life as two-word or hyphenated terms, and when they have become acceptable in general usage and gotten into dictionaries, they lose the hyphen and are spelled solid, as one word.
		AP Style Manual is more choosy: pro- and co- are hyphenated when certain meanings are intended; anti- and non- are usually hyphenated, with some exceptions noted; post-, pre-, and over- follow the dictionary in general; and under-, un-, re-, semi-, intra-, extra-, ultra-, sub-, super-, and supra- are usually spelled solid.

		In writing and printing, a hyphen may also be used to show that a word has been broken at the end of a line.

	Paul Neagu's Hyphen Sculptures by Donald Kuspit
		Hyphen, from the Greek 'hyph' hen," means "under one" or "into one," that is, "together." The hyphen is a connector, linking elements usually thought of as antithetical and irreconcilable It thus accomplishes a kind of miracle, bringing together what ordinarily seems to exist autonomously and apart, and creating something new in the process.
		In other words, the hyphen, a contradiction in terms, embodies both the dynamics of integration and the vulnerability to disintegration -- as a true hyphen does It fuses libido and the death drive, with no clear sense of which is dominant.
		Neagu's hyphen is a terse, epigrammatic embodiment of the psyche's lifelong struggle to balance the conflicting interests that form it.

	Hyphen - Wikinfo
		In general, when a compound modifier appears before a term, and at least one of the elements is itself a modifier, the compound modifier is hyphenated in order to prevent any possible misunderstanding, such as light-blue paint, twentieth-century invention, cold-hearted person, and award-winning show.
		However, hyphens are generally not used if both elements of the compound modifier are nouns, such as government standards organization, and department store manager, nor if the first element is an adverb ending in "-ly", such as truly remarkable progress.
		Hyphens are also used to denote syllabification, as in syl-lab-i-fi-ca-tion.

	Soft hyphen (SHY) - a hard problem?
		On the other hand, the HTML 4.0 specification defines SHY as a hyphenation hint, although in a manner which suggests that universal support to it is not to be expected.
		Thus, it is possible but not mandatory to indicate whether a hyphen at the end of a line belongs to the word itself (and is to be presented even if the word is not divided into lines at that point), by using normal hyphen in that case and soft hyphen otherwise.

		The Hyphen, or the 'hyphen-minus', is what you get when you press the key next to zero (standard qwerty keyboard, well mine anyway, for all those pedants out there).
		It's the shortest of the three and is often used incorrectly, I'll look at the most common correct uses of the hyphen first before moving on to the dashes it is often used, incorrectly, to replace.
		Soft hyphens could be useful if you’re writing long words in narrow places, but sadly browser support isn’t quite there yet.

	Re: Soft hyphen (Re: Cougar comments) (fwd)
		The intent was to encode a discretionary hyphen which would be imaged as a hyphen at a line break, but not elsewhere in a line of text.
		In addition to automatic insertion of a hyphen glyph at the end of a line broken in the middle of a word, they may support the user insertion of discretionary hyphens in words.
		The discretionary hyphen is typically suppressed in rendering (unless special edit modes are turned on to display it), but is retained in text, and most importantly, is visible to the hyphenation algorithm which uses it to find preferred hyphenation points which may override what would be introduced by the automatic algorithm.

	Hyphen-ated - The Boston Globe
		Erik Tarloff, who called his 1999 political novel ''Face-Time," was the first and perhaps the last person to think that compound needed a hyphen, but there were no debates at AP over ''correcting" it.
		Part of the explanation must be the amount of temping they do: We call in hyphens for fleeting compounds like broccoli-averse or stiletto-obsessed, and for words on their way from the open form to solid (on line to on-line to online); they're here today and gone tomorrow.
		Yes, the ranks of editors willing to explore the swamp of hyphenation may be dwindling, and simpler rules may be the result.

		The hyphen is also used in writing compound words which, without the hyphen, would be ambiguous, hard to read or overly long.
		If you do use it, make sure you put the hyphen at the correct end of the piece-of-a-word you are citing ‹ that is, the end at which the piece has to be connected to something else to make a word.
		And note that, when you're writing a suffix, the hyphen must go on the same line as the suffix itself: you should not allow the hyphen to stand at the end of its line, with the suffix on the next line.
