Non-breaking spaces in Rise?

Hi Trina. How about non-breaking spaces within regular text?

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.

That's so helpful, Crystal. Thanks very much!

Hi Crystal, is there any way to make this work within Marker descriptions on an Labeled Graphic? Alt+0160 isn't working there.

Hi Georg,

Are you seeing text break in the middle of a word in a labeled graphic marker? Can you share a screenshot of that marker? I'd love to get a closer look! 

I'm trying this in regular text now, but it doesn't seem to be working when it seemed to work before. I work with a lot of French copy where French quotes begin and end with « double chevrons » that require a non-breaking space between the chevrons and the inner text, but it no longer seems to be working for me.

Thanks for sharing your experience, John. Rise 360 lesson titles don't currently support resizing, formatting of text, or the insertion of non-breaking spaces, but I'll let our team know you need this option.

Sorry, I should clarify.. this is happening in plain paragraph blocks.

Hi there, John. We're seeing that those non-breaking spaces aren't working as they did before either. I'll document this for our team and explain the context for you with French punctuation. If anything changes, we'll let you know here!

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.

Thank you!

Hi Alyssa, I'm seeing text break between german abbreviations (like z. B. and u. a.), where we would like to have a space but not a break.

I've tried Alt+0160, but it isn't working here.

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!

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.

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.

Hi Arith,

Thank you very much for this workaround!

To keep the text adaptative, I replaced the space by a dash (-) and applied to this text the colour of the background. This way, the text wil lnver split, whichever size the screen will be.

Sadly, it won't work for titles.

This is not really enjoyable to work with workarounds for such basic needs. Moreover, I don't know how the screen-reader will interpret that.

Thanks.  Needing same thing, too.

Thanks for the workarounds, need this function too! 

Thanks for the workaround! It'll be interesting to see what happens to those spaces when we send the course for translation. But I figure I'll cross that bridge when I get there. 😁

Really hope the bug is resolved soon
!
