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. Don't use it unless it is really necessary to avoid a line break.
To break up discontiguous runs of pages. For continuing text, use of <pages> is preferred. {{{1}}} word to be used {{{2}}}, positioning of the line and label: Add top for the line to be above label; Add left for the label to be in the left margin, and no break in the text (recommended for continuous text)
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).

In the HTML code for each section there is an "id" attribute holding the section title. This enables linking directly to sections. These section anchors are automatically used by MediaWiki when it generates a table of contents for the page, and therefore when a section heading in the ToC is clicked, it will jump to the section.
Causes text to not break at end of line, preventing word wrap where text exceeds the width of the enclosing object. Adjacent text may break before and after it. Can be done with CSS: {white-space: nowrap;} < nobr > is a proprietary element which is recognized by most browsers for compatibility reasons; deprecated or invalid in HTML 2.0 and later.
A problem can arise if the title of the section is changed for any reason, because this action breaks any incoming section links or excerpts. (If this occurs, incoming links default to the top of the linked article.) The recommended way to prevent this breakage is to use a {{subst:Anchor}} template specifying the section's prior name.
A non-paragraph line break, which is a soft return, is inserted using ⇧ Shift+↵ Enter or via the menus, and is provided for cases when the text should start on a new line but none of the other side effects of starting a new paragraph are desired. In text-oriented markup languages, a soft return is typically offered as a markup tag.
