One example would be a reference to a course, like Math 106. It
looks ugly and distracts the reader if there is a line break at the
space, so that "106" is at the beginning of a line. A more striking
example would be a name with initials or a title. For instance, if
you wrote "M. Olson" or "Mr. Olson" you wouldn't want a line break
after the "M." or the "Mr.".
That's convincing. I'd like to implement non-breaking space in Muse.
What sort of syntax would work well for that? The first thing that
comes to mind for me is "~~", as in Math~~106.
That would work for me. As a tex user, I instinctively use "~", so it
would be very easy to just double it.
