    It shouldn't matter, but then again you shouldn't be using the non-breaking space character entity for separating words in the first place.

    The only time I ever use it is if I want to add multiple spaces between text. Eg. At the start of a paragraph to indent the first line.

    I know there's other ways and this prob isn't a "valid use" but its quick and works.

    CSS does the same thing. :)

    
    p {text-indent: 1.5em;}
    
    Code (markup):
    And as you can tell, uses a LOT less code than   to indent paragraphs. (Oh, and it's a LOT quicker.)

    does that CSS only indent the first line?

    If so thanks for the tip! Very Useful!

    the whole "quick but works" attitude displeases me muchly.
