An NBSP is used to prevent automatic line breaks, so a line like 'this is a
line with a non-breaking space' will never break between the 'with' and
the 'a'. IN HTML it is used to pad out with spaces, because a normal space
gets reduced to a single space.

Hi Folks!

This character is called a non-breaking space. What exactly does
non-breaking mean?

Thanks
