Have you tried directly using the Unicode non-break space?
No.
Quickbook is
supposed to handle utf-8 correctly (in this case, the character sequence
for the non-break space would be 0xc2 0xa0). I think this would be the
best way to go about this.
Of course, if you use an editor that isn't Unicode aware, this might not
be feasible.
It's has a variety of encodings support. But I have no clue how to use
the Windows Unicode, or UTF, input modes. I doubt most people do. And
this doesn't seem like the situation where I would consider such
support, of having to insert special (i.e. visible) characters, like (c).
In the future, there has been talk about adding the
recognition of unicode escape sequences as part of a quickbook
preprocessor (something like \u00A0 for nbsp). Then again, it's probably
not that much better than ''' '''.
Ah, no, I'd say that's worse. At least ``` ``` is humanly legible
(barely).
The last option, I think, would be to add special markup for this, e.g.,
[nbsp] (?).
As a single character? I.e. in[nbsp]one[nbsp]line. That's not much
better than escaping to xml. My suggestion would be: 'in one line', and
['in one line].
I guess another possibility is to make an "nobreak" code syntax. And
then one could: [nobreak] `in one line`.
