To enter a non-breaking space ( ) when editing text in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and select the text element you want to edit.
  2. Double-click on the text element to enter edit mode.
  3. Place your cursor where you want to insert the non-breaking space.
  4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Space on Windows or Command + Shift + Space on Mac. This key combination will insert a non-breaking space character in the text.
  5. You can verify the presence of a non-breaking space by checking for a small centered dot where the space should be.
  6. Once you have inserted the non-breaking space, you can continue editing your text as usual.

Using non-breaking spaces can be beneficial in certain cases, such as when you want to prevent a line break between two words or when you need to maintain the spacing between elements that should not be separated.

By following these steps, you can easily enter non-breaking spaces in your web content using Webflow's text editing features.

Note: When entering a non-breaking space in Webflow, it is important to use the keyboard shortcut mentioned above. Simply typing in   or copying and pasting a non-breaking space character from another source may not work as expected.

Example: Let's say you have a line of text like "Webflow is amazing" and you want to ensure that "Webflow is" always appears on the same line. You can insert a non-breaking space between "is" and "amazing" to achieve this.
