Is it possible to make a soft hyphen in Elements? I want to use it for mobile viewers.

I tried “Shift + Cmd + -” on accommodation, but it doesn’t work (accom-modation).

On the block of text in Elements you can add `[hyphens:auto]` to the CSS Classes field under Advanced, that will solve this for you 🙂
