Automatic NBSP

Description

Support typographic rules in Polish and Czech
Moves conjunctions, prepositions, etc. to the new line. ( sierotki )

Support punctuation marks in French
Adds a non-breaking space   before punctuation marks as ! ? ; % « »

How it works?
The plugin automatically adds HTML entity   ( non-breaking space ) after selected words or phrases. E.g. ‘Mr. Someone’ should be ‘Mr. Someone’. Works with:

  • posts
  • titles
  • pages
  • custom post types
  • comments
  • widgets
  • custom contents

You can create your own list of words/phrases or import our proposals.

Custom contents
You can use the function <?php auto_nbsp($content, $echo); ?> to add &nbsp; to the custom content. Use this in your code.
1. Param $content – (string) (required) Free text
2. Param $echo – (bool) (optional) true (echo), false (return), Default: true

Other features:
* Advanced Custom Fields compatibility

I was hunting for a mysteriously broken code block formatting, where some line breaks were stripped away. It turned out this plug-in was the cause. Share it seems not longer maintained. I would love to continue to use it.

Hello, While WordPress is at version 5, I don't understand why it is still necessary to use a plugin to fix the problem of no break spaces before double height signs. Fortunately Damian Gora developed Automatic NBSP and solved the problem. Many thanks Damian for this great plugin, simple and efficient.

This plugin is awesome, I hate seeing some punctuation on a newline because people don't use unbreakable spaces, this beauty makes it automatic and only if a space has been typed, so it does not force the usage of spaces but makes it simple and clever.
