Nice to know about this option! Yet I think most often &shy; is likely to be more appropriate.

Shy to the rescue! I was "Hey, I've had this problem once and I know I solved differently" while I read this article. But now I know a solution that won't add a visible hyphen, if that happens to be undesirable.

Indeed learned about shy whilst having this article, so going to dedicate another one for shy :D

It's super powerful, however!
And easier if you're using simple editors that don't need to format html

&shy; is like newspaper style. Cool...
