In the 18th century documents I am transcribing often words are abbreviated as for example /voorschreeve/ becoming /voors:/ In the transcription it is usual to write this as /voors[chreeve]/ indicating to the reader how the abbreviation was interpreted.
The problem then arises with hyphenation, because /voors[chreeve]/ in the example will not be hyphenated as if the []'s were absent. Which is what I would like to happen.
Question: is it possible to realize this and how?
Like this?
