Would this be true whenever there is a hyphen in the original
source text, and you break the line there? If so, I imagine it's
done by making hyphen an active character that expands to
\discretionary{-}{-}{-} or something like that. This is no
different under XeTeX; the same mechanisms should still work.
I am not sure I understand correctly. It should happen in the
cases, where you use hyphen to connect the parts of a composite. In
other words: anywhere one needs to type the hyphen even in the
middle of the line (hyphen is called "conecteme" in our typographic
terminology in these cases). It should not happen in the cases
where hyphen is used to really hyphenate words (hyphen is called
"divis" here).
And how do you type these two different things, coneceme and divis,
when using CsLaTeX?
I think that whatever convention is used there could work equally
well under XeTeX, using the same or very similar macros; you just
need to separate these out from the font-encoding stuff that is no
longer needed.
Sorry, I don't know enough about the Czech setup to give more
specifics of how you'd do this.
