    I needed to do this for the long XPath addresses used in my UBL
    stylesheets, by preventing unwanted breaks and promoting breaks at the "/"
    characters.

    I did this by a recursive loop through the string adding zero-width space
    ​ characters to the location either immediately before or
    immediately after the "/" characters (choose based on what you want to see
    at the line break).

    When the resulting string was short enough for my table column, the
    zero-width spaces cannot be seen. When the string was too long, the breaks
    were done at the embedded zero-width spaces.

    I hope this helps.
