Fantomas.CZ Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Hi all, it's me again. One more thought comes to mind: you have a zero-width non-joiner character. What about introducing a zero-width "joiner" character? It would be very handy in some cases, when the paragraph composer decides it's a great idea to break a text and put a comma or quotation mark at the beginning of a line (and behind it a space, of course, to make it extra ugly) - see this thread - or if the hyphenation doesn't work as it's supposed to and you're not feeling like troubleshooting the hyphenation dictionary... Thank you, have a nice day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 It already exists. It's Unicode character U+200D, and all you have to do (desktop Publisher only) is type U+200D then Alt+U or Text > Toggle Unicode. It does not exist, though, in Text > Insert > Spaces and Tabs. You need to type it manually.

I'd say it is 🙂 14 hours ago, MikeTO said: You can find zero-width joiner and the other undocumented special characters here: Nice, thanks! I have saved it as reference for later 🙂 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
