Hi Erik,
This seems to work for me:
,----[ sample org file ]
| * nbsp
| If I do: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve
200\nbsp m^2 it gets exported
`----
this exports as
,----[ latex output ]
| ...
| \label{sec-1}
|
| If I do: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve 200~
m\^{}2 it gets exported
| \end{document}
`----
and when I look at that as a PDF it doesn't break between the 200 and
m^2. I tried adding x and xx before the 200 and it pushes the entire
thing to the next line. I can't make it break on a line so 200 is at
the end of one line and m^2 is on the following line.
Does this work for you?
