Consider it the inverse of the non-break-space entity. Basically it provides a hint to the render engine that a line break may be inserted if necessary. Consider the text "something/anotherthing" if the space to render the tag is narrower than the text it will be rendered as per overflow. now, consider &nspb; (non space break) entity. "something/&nspb;anotherthing" would normally render as "something/anotherthing" but in cases where the text is too wide to fit in the space the render engine can insert a space after the slash effectively rendering it as if it were written: "something/ anotherthing" 85560 1 robin 2013-04-04 14:30:27 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

If no break is needed at that location, it doesn't render; if a break is needed then it breaks and renders a hyphen. 85565 2 claude 2013-04-04 15:04:15 +0000 Very close and I can see using that is several places, thank you for pointing it out. But what I was looking for was a break with no other notation (no hyphen) In my previous example "something/­anotherthing" would render as something/- anotherthing what I am looking for is something/ anotherthing 85566 3 robin 2013-04-04 15:07:52 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Very close and I can see using that is several places, thank you for > pointing it out.
