I need to mark occurrences in words where it can be hyphenated if there's not enough rough, e.g.

loremip|sum

so if there's enough room, it should show loremipsum if not, it should be loremip- on the first line, sum on the second.

Bonus point: if the character is ignored by search, i.e. searching for loremips would find that occurrence. Does something like that exist on iOS?

Using NSParagraphStyle isn't enough as it splits the words at points where it isn't allowed (note: I'm using german). Also I would like to use words not really common as they are dialect.
