NBSP

Short for Non-breaking space, NBSP is commonly used in programming and in HTML that create a space in the program or document without breaking the line the space is on. An example of how a user may insert a NBSP in HTML would be by adding the following HTML tag: & nbsp (without the space in it.)

I had asked the same question a while back. Don''t know for sure what it stands for, but when someone quotes what someone has said, it shows up. Like where an icon would have been in their commentary. Hope this makes sense!!

I think with this forum software, it allows one space between characters. For people like me who learned to put two spaces at the end of a sentence, it has to insert the non-breaking space in order to maintain the original spacing.
