{empty}
<para paraID="11">Have students turn to 2<nb/>Nephi.</para>
Have students turn to 2 Nephi.
Also called binding space or hard space. Use in situations like “1 Sam.” and “v. 38” to keep the text from breaking across lines.
This element is empty in valid ldsXML documents. When an ldsXML document is transformed for print production in InDesign, a Unicode nonbreaking space character is inserted into this element. Upon export from InDesign, nonbreaking spaces marked with the nb element are deleted, and nb elements are left empty to mark the location of “protected” nonbreaking spaces for future production. “Unprotected” nonbreaking spaces (spaces not marked with nb elements) are converted to single space characters.
See Whitespace handling standards in InDesign for more information.
Use the nonbreaking space character (Control-Shift-Space), or enter the XML form (<nb/>) directly using the xmlChar character style.
