Nonbreaking Spaces

Avoid if possible by rephrasing your content. Nonbreaking spaces cause a variety of problems:

• Bad line breaks — Words separated with nonbreaking spaces are treated as single words when the text is wrapped, resulting in unintended line breaks.
• Programming errors — Don’t use nonbreaking spaces in sample code. Most compilers treat nonbreaking spaces as invalid characters.
• Debugging difficulties — Nonbreaking spaces look the same as regular spaces in most code and text, making them hard to spot.
