How to keep words with accent together?
The wordS feu d´artifice fare badly in my text, they disintegrates.
How do I code so that "d" is not separated from "artifice"? |

try a span with the CSS attribute page-break-avoid: always.

No span necessary if you use the right character: it should be an apostrophe instead of an accent. You can get it from your character table or if you press Alt+0146. Or just use this one: ’

Correct, but I have seen it replaced by question marks in some readers.

Are you sure about that? I have never seen a typeface without the apostrophe, which would be the only reason I know of why that replacement could happen.

About line-breaking and hyphenation: most readers are crappy in that respect, and that's entirely the renderer's fault, not the ebook code's. I've seen hyphens added between an opening parenthesis and the following word, or between a word and a closing quote mark... I simply ignore this and hope (naively) that some day the renderers will behave more correctly. |
