Is there a character or set of characters that be used to create a non-
breaking space (without having to turn on html, use the non-breaking
space, and turn off html).

Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark
I'm not sure what you mean by "non-breaking space" - but I use <br> in
the wikisyntax - without turning on html - for "linebreaks" - when I
need to "push something around" I use: padding-left: 25px; (px or %
works fine...)

I don't know if any of this is usefull ofr you - or even what you
asked about - But I'm danish - and very often I have to guess the
meaning of wordconstellations - that I haven't met before...

Regards Måns Mårtensson

You can use all HTML entities (including "&nbsp;") as well as "<br>"
and "<hr>" ***directly in TW wiki syntax***, without having to put
<html>...</html> around it.

Gets better and better! I didn't know *all* the entities were
available. Thanks Eric!

Måns: A non-breaking space is a space between two words that acts like
glue -- the two words will not be split when word-wrapping occurs.

Thanks!
