Anthere-
Recently, a new editor (a french language teacher)
got
on the french wiki. He insists on using these
unbreakable spaces.
I don't think that's a good idea. It only makes pages harder to edit
because of the ugly HTML entities.
Here is my edit (I was removing a div in a talk page,
use of div is becoming more and more common, as well
as use of anchors to support 40 or 50 kb pages)
And here is Vincent next edit, restoring manually all
the non-breakable spaces behind me
I don't see how anything was "broken" by your browser and I strongly doubt
that Netscape would have any such bug. Vincent inserted the s for
the first time in the above edit after yours, as the page source code for
the earlier revision shows. Any changes in display he noticed are likely
the result of how his browser handles word/character wrapping, which may
change when more words/characters are added. It could also be that he
pasted the text from some word processor and inserted hard spaces in that
application, which were lost during the copy and pasting. In any case, it
is quite obvious that your edits did not break anything because the
s Vincent added were still there after your further edits to the
same page.
