Normally short words aren't ever split across lines and hyphenated, but if they have adjacent punctuation then WeasyPrint (version 0.19.2) wrongly treats them as though they were a longer word.

We've found “(LST)” being split as “(L-” at the end of one line and “ST)” at the start of the next. Evidence that the parens are being counted as word characters: setting this property avoids “(LST)” being split:

-weasy-hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3;

(But obviously that could still hyphenate a 4-letter word with 2 adjacent punctuation marks. And in the general case requires setting hyphenate-limit-chars higher than you wish, thereby also disallowing hyphenating some words without punctuation which you'd wish to allow.)

CSS says to strip punctuation characters between words for counting their characters: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-4/#hyphenate-char-limits

Pyphen say that punctuation-stripping should be done outside of Pyphen:
Kozea/Pyphen#4

Let me know if you'd like a sample document showing this happening.

Yes, that's a problem. We must rewrite the way WP handles text, that's on our TODO-list, and there are some annoying bugs related to that limitation (#74, #100, #106).

Of course, it may also possible to write a quick fix for this bug, but rewriting the whole module will be necessary for the other bugs.

Now that #74 and #100 are fixed, it was easier to handle this case.
