FR: Auto insert NO-BREAK SPACE(U+00A0) between numbers & units, or change normal space to it
Auto insert NO-BREAK SPACE(U+00A0) between numbers & units, or change normal space to it
"In word processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space - also called NBSP, required space, hard space, or fixed space - is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position. In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive whitespace characters from collapsing into a single space."
It's an elegant feature to improve our note, and it's 100% compatible when copied to other apps.
For example,
You can copy the below text into another place and add space before the "1 km", then you will see the feature.
- NO-BREAK SPACE: 1 km
- NORMAL SPACE: 1 km
Normally, this is the look
`NO-BREAK SPACE:
1 km
`
`NORMAL SPACE: 1
km`
There are so many units like mya, ly, hr, km, min and sec, etc. It is weird and less to know. So I also recommend supporting users to input units they often use.
I'm a beginner in English, SRY if you feel uncomfortable. :)
Supplement: This is a Unicode feature, no need to use , " "(U+00A0) is more compatible.
This seems like something that would be addressed by a custom command added through Quick Add to me. But if there is a desire from the community to have this added as a rule in the Linter that can be done as well.
Yeah, it can be done by custom command. Here is an example:
(?<=\d) ?(?=km|mya) ->
But I thought it's a basic feature, people may love it.
I will expand on the subject. In Polish (and possibly Czech) it is not allowed to leave one-letter words at the end of a line. Not only after numbers. Could you just consider adding an option to change a regular space to a non-breakable space after single letter words? I know it can be done with regex, but it will be easier for normal users...
