Hi, I need to use non-breaking dashes in our product names, since most of them start with R-... and we don't want that hanging at the end of the the line.
I found how to insert a non-breaking space, but not how to insert a non-breaking dash. Can you help?
Thanks!
You could always insert the unicode character non-breaking-hyphen (u+2011). To try it out, you can just copy the character ‑ and paste it. That should avoid a line break. Example:
this‑sentence‑will‑result‑in‑a‑very‑long‑line‑but‑because‑it‑uses‑non‑breaking‑dashes‑it‑will‑probably‑be‑line‑broken‑in‑the‑middle‑of‑a‑word‑or‑not‑at‑all.

How do you insert a unicode character by the code when editing a Confluence page?

Go into the code editing (<> button) mode and replace the - with ‑

Maybe non-breaking-spaces before and after the dash will fit your requirement. Of course only if having a space bevore and after the dash is an option.
Best, Eugen

I also need a non-breaking dash!
the non-breaking space is essential for referencing Standards such as IEC 61850 whee the space is mandatory but annoying when it is at the end of a line (perhaps as a result of zooming the screen).
but that Standard has many sub parts such as IEC 61850-7-4 so I need a non-breaking dash.
I have just found the non-breaking Space symbol as <<+Insert>> then <<Symbol>> ... although a bit annoying it is so hard to get to compared to a keyboard short cut like in Word where I press Ctrl+Shift+Space

Yes, the Confluence editor is lacking (as for all Atlassian products). At least you can insert a non-breaking-space via the UI, by way of the +(Insert more content) :: Symbol popup. For the NBSP you need to click on its invisible spot at the left of the first row. Sadly, a non-breaking-hyphen is not represented there (where "sadly" is a euphemism for "angrifyingly").
