Thanks for the links! I was reading a totally different set of instructions, which I guess were outdated, and seem to have since been removed.

hyphens shouldn't be used to split up words

Unlucky me! The text I have for The Wounded Name has an average of four or five end-of-line hyphens per page *grimace*.

It's funny to think that almost a hundred years ago, some typesetter spent hours putting in all those hyphens by hand, not knowing that a century later someone else would spend hours removing them :D In fact, not even dreaming that e-books would someday exist!
