Is there a way to insert a non breaking space in the editor?
When I am typing in something like 2 cm, I do not want 2 on one line and cm in the next.

Hi,
Sure.
You could add it either in the Text editing mode, using the " " character code, or in the Author (visual) editing mode, using the context menu Insert action (right click somewhere in the document, where you need the non-breaking-space to be inserted, then choose Insert > Insert entity and type nbsp > click Insert.
There are also space preserve options available in the oXygen menu Options > Preferences > Editor > Format > XML.
Regards,
Costin

Sorry to jump on this train late but how can I keep a   from being converted when the XML file is saved to the eXist database?
All our   are converted to a Unicode U+00A0 when we close an XML file and re-open it. This makes it very hard for the editing persons to recognize the non-breaking spaces from the simple spaces.
Is there a magic thing we can configure in our oXygen? Or maybe it is an issue with the eXist database?

Hi,
This is most probably a problem related to how the Exist database might change the XML content saved by Oxygen to it.
I've seen this problem discussed multiple times on the Exist users list:

If you want you can also register on the Exist users list and ask around.
