I didn't realize HTML had a non-breaking space character. Rather I
supposed all spaces were non-breaking with the overflow property
turned off for a div.

I can't imagine when I'd use it, but a non-breaking space in HTML
would definitely be worth knowing about.

I thought breaking of lines was left mainly to browser, the <br />
tag, and CSS...
