The bug can be reproduced by running "demo.bat".

Based on suggestions in #188 , I have attempted to help Rinoh split up the long "word" that you can see in index.rst, "/EXAMPLE/DEMO/EXAMPLE/DEMO" by adding zero-width spaces after each / character. Unfortunately this leads to the AttributeError. I found that adding a dummy "hyphenate" method in paragraph.ZeroWidthSpaces would fix it.

The latest version from Github, commit b7be22f, also appears to have this problem.
