Non-breaking spaces and hyphenations

Non-breaking spaces

You want to insert a non-breaking space character in your text? This secure space character prevents not only a new unwanted line at a certain point in your text but also prevents automatic line breaks.

An example of this is the salutation. If you do not want the salutation "Dr" to be separated from the name "Muller" by a new line start, use the non-breaking space. The non-breaking space can also be useful when it comes to size or time specifications. They improve the readability of your text.

So if you don’t want "Dr Muller", "10 m" or "12 o’clock" to be shown in separate lines, simply enter "Dr Muller", "10 m" or "12 o’clock" in your editors text field.

Hyphenations

The hyphenation problem is being solved by using the soft hyphen: the abbreviation “­”, specifies a hyphen in the word where a line break is allowed. This special character automatically displays the hyphen in the case of a line break. It’s often used with long words, for example, as follows:



A super­duper­extra­ordinarily long word! Simply add the abbreviation into your text and it looks like this:
