 * Hi,
    i have very long word in the headline. How can i break long word manually
   with `&shy;` or `&#173`; This doesnt work in any type of fields (Text, Code, 
   Editor, …). These tags get displayed not executed.
 * Any hints?
    best M

 * Hey.
 * I don’t think it is possible to manually break the line. A quick fix for long
   words will be added in the next plugin update (styles for break words).
 * Regards, nK.
