Unit 6: Card Navigation

The default paragraph alignment is left and is utilized in most classes. Modes can be set in Notes
addition to alignments.
The mode “nowrap” must be used sparingly since various devices handle it differently and
often not well. To aid with paragraph layout, we can also use the non-breaking space and
soft hyphen &syt; for better control of when and where words are across lines of text.

Did u know? What is non-breaking space requirements?
The non-breaking space requires two words be kept together on the same line. One use
would be for software names and their version number.
The soft hyphen can be added within a word to suggest the best possible place to break the word
with a hyphen. This is particularly useful with longer words (for example, anti­ dis­
establish & shy;ment-­ arian & shy;ism).
