Is there a way to enter a "required" space in the 'vi' editor
and have word wrap (when 'wrapmargin' is set to something
greater than 0) not divide two words?
That is, a space between two words which must never be divided
between lines. Say, for example, you want to have a legal
quotation in a file, such as "Section 102(a)" of some law or
other. How can you keep "Section" and "102(a)" from being
separated when 'vi' wraps at the end of a line?
Thanks.

I deal with this by leaving the formatting up to LaTeX, wherein I type
"Section~102(a)" in my favourite editor.

From the keyboard of tkevans@oss670.UUCP (Tim Evans): :That is, a space between two words which must never be divided :between lines. Say, for example, you want to have a legal :quotation in a file, such as "Section 102(a)" of some law or :other. How can you keep "Section" and "102(a)" from being :separated when 'vi' wraps at the end of a line? Use a ^V in front of the space. It will wrap later ifyou ever !}fmt though. --tom -- Tom Christiansen tchrist@convex.com convex!tchrist "All things are possible, but not all expedient." (in life, UNIX, and perl)
