[discuss] No-break

[John W. Kennedy]

Why, o why, o why, o why, o WHY can we not have a simple "do not break" 
character attribute?????

I'm working right now on transcribing an 18th-century document full of 
"Mr. S----h" and the like (actually, that's two em dashes), and I can 
find absolutely no way to prevent "S----h" being broken if it happens to 
hit the end of a line. All I can do is manually pad out the line with 
extra spaces until the whole thing falls off onto the next line -- but 
if I should need to alter the margins, or make a correction to the text, 
I have to do the whole thing over again.
