The MediaWiki software suppresses single newlines and converts lines starting with a space to preformatted text in a dashed box. HTML suppresses multiple spaces. It is often desirable to retain these elements for poems, lyrics, mottoes, oaths and the like.
The only invisible characters in the editable text should be spaces and tabs. However, other invisible characters are often inserted inadvertently by pasting from a word processor, from the rendered Wikipedia page (in some browsers), [k] or from Wikipedia's Android editor.
Invisible comments are useful for alerting other editors to issues such as common mistakes that regularly occur in the article, a section title's being the target of an incoming link, or pointing to a discussion that established a consensus relating to the article.
If one follows text, it does not actually result in whitespace. But, two sequential newline sequences between text blocks results in a blank line between the blocks. The height of the blank line varies by application. Using whitespace characters to layout text is a convention.
Use this template to create a space (not an actual selectable space) equal in width to what its argument would be if rendered. All spaces, both before, within, and following the single argument are significant, although as in normal wikitext multiple consecutive spaces are collapsed into a single space.
This method does not hide text from any non-CSS browsers (including text-only browsers, like Lynx), nor from users of many types of screen readers and other accessibility software. Pages relying on this method also fail to display properly when copied to other sites which have not been configured to use the 'hiddenStructure' class, including ...
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
