Non-breaking spaces in Rise?
Hi. Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space into a lesson name (or elsewhere)?
I have a lesson whose name ends with "...Session 3". When viewing the course, the 3 wraps to the 2nd line in the contents pane on the left, as shown in the shot.
Dear Articulate Staff,
This is a must for most people that author in different languages, specially French for Canada, can you please provide an ETA for this fix?
Thanks in advance,
Fabian.Hi Fabian! Sorry, no news on a fix for this yet. If we make any updates that address this issue, we'll update you here.
Thank you. Much needed for French and English words with hyphens.
Hi there, Christine. On Windows keyboards with a number pad, you can use
Alt+0160to add non-breaking spaces to your Rise 360 text, including course and lesson titles. Yay!For now, it's not a feature that works with Mac OS. We'll let you know if that changes.
Hi Crystal, is there any way to make this work within Marker descriptions on an Labeled Graphic? Alt+0160 isn't working there.
Hi Crystal, no-break space wiht Alt+0160 does not work in Rise 360
I found another workaround (based on Arith's suggestions). This works for me in Chrome:
- Right-click the paragraph where you want a no-breaking space.
- Click Inspect to bring up the inspector in your browser.
- Right-click the <p> tag that contains your text, then click Edit as HTML.
- Replace the existing space with the HTML character code for no-breaking space, that is:
This seems to work reliably and the no-breaking space is still there after I reload the page.
I also noticed that if you add more than one space in your text, Rise replaced all but one of those spaces with no-breaking space. So even if HTML has built-in protection against double spaces, Articulate has worked hard to allow you to make those typos. 😁
Hi Trina. How about non-breaking spaces within regular text?
Hello, i would like to know what is the solution because i have the same problem. ReguIarly, i have to insert unbreaking spaces in Rise. Those are needed frequently in french ponctuation and in some other cases too. Thanks!
Hello, Hélène. I don't have a workaround for you, right now. I'll update you here if there's a way to add non-breaking spaces to your Rise text.
Hi Georg,
We're seeing that those non-breaking spaces using Alt+0160 aren't working as they did before either. We documented this for our team, and we'll update you if anything changes. Thanks for letting us know how this is affecting your work!
Hello team,
is there any update on this? This seems like a very simple change to make. Multiple languages are affected, especially French as was already highlighted before.
Line breaks like these are unacceptable:
Do we have any ETAs or anything you can give us? Thanks.
I'm sorry that I don't have an ETA for a fix, Lubomir. We will post any changes here!
Thanks. Needing same thing, too.
Hi there,
My colleague just found an workaround.
Says if you expect "Abcd Efghi" to be presented in the same line, and since now the non-breaking space won't work. the workaround is to highlight the space character, and change the font style, for example, apply bold, or change color. Then there you go.
It's more like a bug's side effect that we did observer a wider space has been presented before / after the style change. It will looks something like below, visually, more like having a double space between le and module.
"Aprés avoir terminé le module obligatoire « Introduction »,"
the only way to fix it would be to delete that space, and then add it back.
So, now use this weird behavior to set the space to be with different style can do the trick.
That's an excellent workaround! I just tried it and it works, so thanks!
All I did was change the font size of the space after « and before » by one and now it line breaks around it instead of in the middle of it.
Still very silly that we have to do this. Hope there's some plan to provide a long-term fix.
Hello! This is a feature that would be helpful for me too! We work a lot in French as well.
Following this thread for updates!
Thank you.
Adding my vote for this as well. Our use case (in addition to French language punctuation) is for measurements. Things like 50 m or 31 cm should not break across lines. It would be nice to be able to add the NBS as we do in Word. Thanks!
I am attempting all the workarounds suggested but this is making the use of Rise 360 inefficient because of the additional time needed for our translated courses. We need to translate every course into French and non-breaks are essential to translation. Making a comment to get alert when this is fixed.
