The use of the non-breaking space char in web is wide spread and very useful.
For example, names like “Red Cross” should not wrap in texts but stay in one line.
In Axure I have not been able to insert these into text. What I have tried:
- Keyboard combination keys like [Ctrl] + [Space], [AltGr] + [Space], [Alt] + [Shift] + [Space] or [Alt] + [0] + [1] + [6] + [0] do nothing or convert to basic space chars.
- Printable characters can often be copied from programs like MS-Word (e.g. Ø, ®, etc.). Even a tab character works. This method unfortunately does not work for the non-breaking space or word-break.
- Even in “set Text” action i cannot replace a char for ‘\xa0’ (the hex notation of a non-breaking space).
Do I miss anything or is it not possible to insert non-breaking spaces?
The same goes for word break chars. And there are other non-printing chars (e.g. narrow non-breaking space) that would be useful but the ones mentioned here are a good starting point.
