The sequence SPACE NBSP *does* not allow a break after the SPACE under the line breaking rules we publish in UAX#14.
The common usage in HTML, is to use one or more NBSP followed by SPACE to mark a wider space, that allows a break at the end. NBSPs are not coalesced with other spaces.
In the Hebrew case, it is probably necessary to precede the NBSP with RLM to ensure that the NBSP and combining mark are taken with the rest of the word as right-to-left. Does this inserted RLM affect the situation with HTML, XML etc?
You are always free to surround the NBSP with other format characters, such as RLM or ZWSP, to tailor whatever behavior those format characters affect.
Thank you.
What if I used the sequence <RLM, NBSP, combining mark>? Would I then get a break opportunity before the RLM, if it is preceded by SPACE? Presumably LRM could be used similarly if the same situation occurs in a left-to-right language.
