code for breaking space

I can not find a straight answer on google.

I know the code for non breaking space but what is the code for breaking space.

my pagination just continues forever LOL

 

I could have misunderstood, but isn't that simply <br>? If you are doing back end coding, then usually it's \n for newline, depending on what language it is. Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

 

Arnold9000 is correct. A breaking space or a break is <br> or in XHTML <br />

 

sorry maybe i described it wrong

on my pagination links i needed spaces between each page number. i used the code for a nonbreaking space. I need to add a code for a space that will break when the line gets to the end of my divsion.

Now it is continous string of nonbreaking characters that flows outside of my divisoin.

so i don't want it to break until it gets to the edge of the division

so i get i am looking for a space that will wrap.

 

hmmm.... can't you just specify a width for the division in CSS and have it do this? For instance, if you had a DIV tag with a width of 400px and your numbers are formatted like this: 11111 22222 333333 44444444, when the 4block hits the edge of the DIV it will wrap to the next line.

Or are you talking about numbers formatted like this: 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4, and you want the entire 4 block to wrap instead of wrapping in the middle of the 4's???

 

<div>

I'm kind of confused, but I'm just saying <div>

 

Do you mean this: &nbsp;

 

you could just add "overflow: auto;" then it wouldn't break out the div, it'd add a scroll bar....

 

if the second 4 got to the end of the division i would want it to wrap


as it is now, because i am using a nonbreaking space to separate them, the numbers flow outside of my division

 

)))) very weird question. You know, you could convert your elements into an unordered list, this way you don't have to use the &nbsp;, and everything will wrap just nicely.

 

yeah i know, but is this what other people who paginate dynamic content do?

 

Page number? Are you working on a print CSS?

I really don't think any of us are understanding what you are asking... Since 'pagination link' and 'non-breaking space' is ... well, gibberish.

Do you have a link we could look at?

Oh wait, I see what you are saying... I only know two ways of doing that - using &nbsp; instead of spaces which is.... long and hard to maintain.... or to wrap each group you want to wrap together inside a span or other inline container, then make the span white-space:nowrap;

<style type="text/css">
.blockwraps span {
white-space:nowrap;
}
</style>

<p class="blockwraps">
<span>1 1 1 1 1 1</span> <span>2 2 2 2 2 2</span> <span>3 3 3 3 3 3</span>
<span>4 4 4 4 4 4</span>
</p>

That would make them wrap as a group - in theory at least. Again though, a code sample or link might help us better diagnose.

 

sorry didn't mean for it to be gibberish

here is an example

using &nbsp; for my spaces after my "pagination links" meaning the 1 2 3 4 5 ... at the bottom of the page

however i found the fix

is a space that will break

http://www.bjrtechnologies.com/paginate/paginationlinksworks.php

&nbsp; is a space that won't break with the division

 

LOL, so your fix was the spacebar?
