Subject: [Xml-sg-cmt] question: using entities to control line breaks
Precedence: list

Greetings,

Re: using entities in titles to control placement of line breaks in specific rendered files. Is it accurate that we should not be using entities in this manner?

Example: to prevent a line break after hyphen in the text output

-- Before:

Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Data Plane: MPLS over IEEE 802.1 Time-
                       Sensitive Networking (TSN)

-- After (if &nbhy; is used in the XML):

   Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Data Plane: MPLS over IEEE 802.1 
                       Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)

-- Or, even better (if &nbsp; is used as well):

             Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Data Plane:
          MPLS over IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)

[This would also yield the desired result in the PDF file.]


Background: This is something the RPC did commonly in v2 era, but our understanding is that we're not supposed to do this in the v3 era.   If that's accurate, then we'll add this to the list of 'guidance received'.

Thanks,
Alice
