    Hello Lars,

    Breaking lines at the space characters is not a hyphenation thus XEP
    would not insert hyphens. Instead of explicit zero-width characters
    you may try to use hyphenation mechanism, that is set hyphenate="true"
    and specify desired language (e.g. language="en"). In this case when
    long word do not fit into the table cell XEP will try to perform
    hyphenation of this word if possible and in case of hyphenation hyphen
    symbol will be inserted. Note however that this approach is feasible
    only for 'natural' text and will fail for string of numbers, URLs and
    other staff like that.

    Best regards,
