Which way is the > Unicode name written? The Unicode name is NO-BREAK SPACE (and the old Unicode name is NON-BREAKING SPACE). Creating a Lisp symbol requires converting the space into the hyphen. Leaving the second already existing hyphen makes the symbol name `no-break-space' ambiguous since the user might interpret it as `no (break space)' with the unknown term `break space'. Removing the existing hyphen and adding other one instead of the space makes the resulting name `nobreak-space' unambiguous. But perhaps the cindex name in the Emacs manual should be the same as the Unicode name: @vindex nobreak-char-display @cindex no-break space, display @cindex soft hyphen, display -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
