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.

This issue is still high on our wish list as well. Posting this comment to receive a notification when (or if) this is fixed... This should be a basic feature in typography.

Thank you ArithHsu for this tipp! As the underscore is wider than a normal space, i tried it with "." and this worked perfectly fine!
I would however prefer if Articulate did offer a solution on this, as the translation service will be confused if we send things like "z..B." or "10.min" into translation... - ArithHsuCommunity Member
I also did a quick test, and non-breaking space looks to be working fine 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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
