When Typesetting a catalog, is there a way to automatically break lines at specific locations

Question

Sometimes a catalog line is too long and needs to be redirected.
Customers need catalogs initially, in large quantities, which can be duplicated and cumbersome.
I wondered if there was a way to cope with the customer.

Finally, the final draft is provided with a catalog, so I carefully check it manually.

In English (or other roman languages) one technique is to use hard spaces to keep short groups of text together, so that the line will break only where you leave a soft (regular) space. Another technique that might work for you is to define a "no break" Character Style and apply it across similar groups, so that the text breaks only in between them.

Any kind of automated break would be either very simple and might break the flow at poor places, or need very sophisticated context information to know where breaks are allowable.
