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.
Hi there, Christine. On Windows keyboards with a number pad, you can use
Alt+0160
to 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.

3 years later and still nothing?

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.

Hi,
Is there any news about this Non-breaking spaces correction in Rise?
Thank you

I also am in need of non-breaking spaces. This is must for medical manufacturing companies, as well as for translating courses. Adding a comment to get notification when this is fixed.

I see that it is nearly 4 years since this issue was raised and it still hasn't been fixed. I've tried inserting a non-breaking space using the Windows Character Map, the Alt+0160 keypad trick and copy and paste from a Word document with a non-breaking space. In all cases, Rise replaces it with a normal space. All you have to do to fix it is to stop Rise from messing about with a valid character. If anything, it should change it to an html
This is an essential feature in lots of text. I need it to insert non-breaking spaces between a number and its units, e.g. 150 m or 60 km/h. It looks really messy when the units wrap onto the next line.

It would be fabulous if this could be resolved as this seems a pretty basic formatting function for responsive text. The workaround impedes accessibility. Any development in the last few years?

This really needs attention for accessibility and multiple languages. I'm translating a lot o f English to French and this is a huge headache. Would also be nice to support narrow non-breaking spaces.

I was surprised to run into this problem today, and then to find this was first reported (5) Five Years ago.
How much longer than 5 years does the community have to wait for this? Is there any way to get this issue more attention, by virtue of how long it has been lingering? This seems like a very basic point of typography to somehow have avoided dealing with all this time.
I echo the concerns for Localization, but this is also important for Proper Nouns like Product Names, Company Names, things that one routinely encounters.
Thanks for any updates.

I run a quick test, it looks like Alt+0160 is working now.

We used to insert an underscore between the two words (with the underscore as white and also with a different font size: It seems to work a few years ago, but I cannot find that old post in this forum.
