SYLLABIFICATION
When breaking a word at the end of a line, follow Webster's. For place-names and personal names, use Webster's Geographical and Biographical Dictionaries. Use your editorial judgment on which looks better to the eye:
Mary-land preferred to Mar-yland.
For foreign words, follow rules in the original language:
cor-di-lle-ra, not cor-dil-le-ra.
Do not break a word from one column to another or from one page to another. Generally avoid breaking at the end of the first line of an article or of a legend.
Break a hyphenated compound at the end of a line only where the compounding hyphen occurs.
