Text editor capable of wrapping text at syllable boundaries

Question

I am looking for a text editor that can break lines at syllable boundaries and not only at word boundaries, the latter being the default for products like Microsoft Word or Notepad++.

My purpose is to have nicely laid out texts, like in printed books, as I am not completely satisfied with the looks of Justified Text.

I am specifically searching for a solution for the Italian language.

Thanks

Latex is capable of doing this, if you are willing to go that route. An example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}

\begin{document}

Il contratto di trasporto concluso ai sensi delle Condizioni Generali,
di norma, è relativo all’utilizzo da parte del passeggero di un singolo
treno ed è rappresentato da un titolo di viaggio che legittima il
medesimo ad usufruire del servizio ferroviario prescelto.

\end{document}

Result:

(text taken from travel conditions of trenitalia)

Note that of course the editor does not do the wrapping - you write whole words -, but it is done during compiling the resulting pdf.
