Is there some way to put into the ... I suppose CSS code some trigger so that the flowable type will automatically break at hyphens, em-, and en-dashes? Maybe even before or after ellipses?

I tend to use these a fair amount, especially in dialogue, and when you add flowable type and full justification, you can get a lot of unattractively spread out lines.

At the moment, I'm just putting a space at one side or the other (depending on where it occurs in the dialogue) but I'd sure rather just do it closed and have a break put in as necessary for the situation.
