Allow hyphenation of dashed words & if hyphenated on the dash, add another dash in next line












1















I have two requirements. I can achieve each one of these two requirements separately but I have not been able to combine them.



First, I need to allow the hyphenation of dashed words (eg: "entendendo-se"), which by default it isn't possible.
Example:



enten-
dendo-se


or



en-
tendendo-se


Then, when a word is hyphenated, if the line break occurs on the dash, it should add another dash in the following line (this is a portuguese language rule).
Example:



entendendo-
-se


I know that I can achieve the first one by using the extdash package with -/ and I can achieve the second one by defining a macro that will replace the dashes with discretionary{-}{-}{-}.



But how can I combine both requirements in a solution?



And finally, but not required, would it be possible to apply the solution to all the dashes throughout some part of the text (so that I don't need to replace every dash with a command [or whatever would be used])?



PS: I am currently using the XeLaTeX compiler.
