The online Merriam-Webster dictionary shows End-of-Line division:
The centered dots within entry words indicate division points at which a hyphen may be put at the end of a line of print or writing. Thus the noun pos·si·bil·i·ty may be ended on one line with:
pos-
possi-
possibil-
possibili-
and continued on the next with:
sibility
bility
ity
ty
