protected space

protected space

[Michael-E. Voges]

hi there,
I am (somewhat) still a newbie to emacs. And I didn't find any solution for a 
little problem, you probably (and hopefully) may solve without any effort.
I need - using text-mode, iso-8859-1 - a protected space to avoid linebreaking 
between two words as for example the ~-sign of LaTeX.
Does emacs provide something of that kind? And if, how to map it to my 
(german) keyboard?

You mean

;   oct   dec   hex    UCS2      UTF-8
;=====================================
  = 240 = 160 = A0 = U+00A0 =    C2 A0 : NO-BREAK SPACE

Try C-q 2 4 0 RET. Instead of RET any other non-digit character 
finishes the alt-method ...
(You too can set that you want to input the sequence as hex or decimal. 
Given you work with some UNIX and X11 you can set with xmodmap that 
some key has XK_nobreakspace, for example alt-space?)

Thank you both - it was a great help.
