Oh, those are interesting ideas, too -- thanks! I think what I've done now will work for this current book, but I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future.

If I recall, this is a QT issue. Since you're using Sigil, you may want to use & #160; (close the gap in the code of course) instead of &nbsp;. The discussion about that is too long for me to recall what the problem was. Perhaps I'm mistaken and it's the other way around. Maybe someone can chime in on that.
You've got me curious about that, too, whether I should (or should not!) be changing all my "filler" spaces that I've used in that way -- hope someone will reply, one way or the other (and hopefully with an explanation).
