Hi Nicolas and Stephen,
Non breaking spaces are a solution for linking multiple words items, but in my mind, it is an unnecessary workaround.
Rev provides all you need in this case without wrecking your text:
Take advantage of Rev hypertext abilities by setting the style of multiple words items to link but without showing the link style (underlineLinks stack property = false).
With link text, the returned values by mouseText, mouseChunk, clickChunk, etc. functions specify the ENTIRE TEXT group: this very handy feature is often forgotten ;-)
More, see the linkText property which allows to store any string related to any chunk of text (including carriage returns if needed).
For instance, it can be the name of a message that you will execute with the "do" command, a complete revGoUrl statement, a multi-lines prompt, a translation, etc. Note that link text properties are not lost when you copy/paste the text: amazing!
You can get and set this property by script but not via the property palette: so it's not well-known and, it's true, not entirely tranparent...
In addition, you can trigger the linkClicked message whose single parameter is the contents of the linkText property (or the "raw" clicked text when this property was not defined).
As for non-standard characters, Nicolas, you might be interesested by my ASCII Picker you can download from my web site:
It does not indicate any keys combinations (they depend on too many factors) but allows you to copy/paste any character and search by ASCII value or "real" char.
Best regards,
PS. What OT means?

Speaking of "non-breaking spaces" and other characters that just ain't on my
keyboard, does any one have recommendations for Windows text editors that
allow non-standard characters such as these to be directly inputted and even
displayable on-screen?
And I just got to add a note of thanks to Eric and Stephen for raising this
topic. The "non-breaking space" helps solve a long-time problem, namely, how
to link multi-word items in a manner that's transparent to the user but not
to Rev functions such as clickText.
Amicalement,
