Re: How to wrap text in <p> tag if the text has no spaces and is very long

Much more than half of the world uses hyphen-minus in the function of
minus sign, so the browser behavior is wrong for this reason, too.
Moreover, the breaking problem also applies to things like "The constant
EOF is defined as (-1)", where it would be quite inappropriate to use a
minus sign, even though the expression refers to a negative number.
