At least with Xetex and Luatex compilers both tilde (~) and U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE can be used as a non-breaking space. There is one difference. Tilde is a stretchable space just like normal word space. U+00A0 is a fixed-width space and more suitable for keeping some closely related parts together. (And let's not forget \, command which is a fixed 1/6 em space.) -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. http://www.iki.fi/tlikonen/ // OpenPGP: 4E1055DC84E9DFF613D78557719D69D324539450
