space_to_nbsp — replace all spaces (" ") with nonbreakable space (" ") characters
The filter replaces all space ("
") characters
with HTML's nonbreakable-space ("
")
characters.
This is useful for places where you want strings to appear in a single line, without word-wrapping to the next line.
Example: Filter example
<div style="width: 80px;"> This is a very small DIV and will surely word-wrap this text to multiple lines. With the filter applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and render as single line. </div> <div style="width: 80px;"> [filter space_to_nbsp] With the filter applied, however, it will force the DIV to stretch and render as single line. [/filter] </div>Example in action:
<div style="width: 80px;">

Example: Filter example
<div> [filter space_to_nbsp.compress] Multiple spaces in a line will render as just single space. [/filter] </div>Example in action:
<div>
Multiple spaces in a line will render as just single space.
</div>
In HTML, multiple spaces in a line render as just one space on the
screen. When the spaces are converted to " ", however, every
nonbreakable space will produce one space character on the screen —
it's how HTML works.
Use the filter's compress
when you want to
preserve the behavior of only one space being visible on the screen.
