Dan Delaney started this thread with an inquiry about suppressing line-breaking after the "-" characters within a social-security number. I have another proposed solution which does not rely on CSS: I read section 13.2 of the *The Unicode Standard Version 3.0* to indicate that "Zero Width No-Break Space", U+FEFF, can be placed after a "-" character to suppress line-breaking at that point. I have no idea which User Agents do or do not support this detail of the Unicode standard. Of course, although this suggestion applies to documents encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16, it may be irrelevant for documents encoded with various specific charsets. Jerry Dunietz jerryd@microsoft.com
