The Break flag (|) tells DSR where it may break a word that
occurs at the end of a line. You might want DSR to be able to
break a word after a slash (/) or a hyphen (-) that is part
of the word (for example, "a yes/no response"). The Break flag
allows a line to end where the flag occurs; no hyphen is ever
inserted because of it.
If the flag is turned on and inserted at break points, DSR is
able to break the word at any of the specified points. If more
than one Break flag is present in a word that DSR is breaking at
the end of a line, DSR leaves as much of the word as possible on
the line; that is, it breaks the word at the last possible Break
flag.
The Break flag works the same whether .JUSTIFY or .NO JUSTIFY is
in effect.
