Yes, you are all completely right! thank you for your help!
I wouldn't have thought that the epub contained soft hyphens, for I had built the epub myself, and, of course, without hyphens. But as the book lies for a considerable time in my file system, it might well be that once upon a time I had re-saved it from Calibre's file location (with soft hyphens). I might just have forgotten.
Anyway: @DiapDealer: I'm comprehensive for anglophone users to "hate these things". But the german language is different: Imagine a word like "Dampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft" - my finger nails are warping at writing this - without hyphenation on an e-bool reader! That's to ugly by far. Thus, I estimate the HypenateThis! plugin very much, as its hyphenation results for the german language are in about 85 % correct.
But your hints to detect soft hyphens in Sigil are really valuable to me in the future, as this issue occurs not so rarely.
Thank you again!
