This code generates "page C‑2" just like the plain code "page C-2", but prevents a line break at the hyphen. However, like , the use of ‑ instead of " - " renders the source text harder to read and edit.
HTML equivalent: <br> or <br /> can be used to break line layout. Templates for line breaks: {} can add multiple line breaks. {} and {} adds a break with styling, to clear floating elements. Often used to prevent text from flowing next to unrelated tables or images. Unbulleted list:
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
A newline (frequently called line ending, end of line (EOL), next line (NEL) or line break) is a control character or sequence of control characters in character encoding specifications such as ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode, etc. This character, or a sequence of characters, is used to signify the end of a line of text and the start of a new one.

The text between < html > and </ html > describes the web page, and the text between < body > and </ body > is the visible page content. The markup text < title > This is a title </ title > defines the browser page title shown on browser tabs and window titles and the tag < div > defines a division of the page used for easy styling.
This enables text-processing systems for scripts that do not use explicit spacing to recognize where word boundaries are for the purpose of handling line breaks appropriately. The zero-width space is Unicode character U+200B , and is located in the Unicode General Punctuation block.
This essay explains use of the non-breaking hyphen character ‑, U+2011, coded by ‑ or ‑.Once displayed in a page, the non-breaking hyphen can be copied into words, or abbreviations, so they will not wrap at the hyphen character, such as an interstate highway symbol, "I‑94", which would always wrap to the next line as a whole word.
(The "source code", "wiki text", or "input text" is what editors see and change in the text box of the "edit this page" form; the displayed text is what is shown to the reader.) One benefit is that the line breaks make diffs smaller and (arguably) easier to read, and this was especially true before the changes to the styling of diffs made in 2012 .
