Non-breaking Spaces

Non-breaking are used when you want to put a space between words that will not let the words on either side bet split across lines. For example, in the next section "Simon Fraser University" is written with regular spaces, and then the one after that it is written with non-breaking spaces. Try re-sizing your browser window to see the difference.
