Thin space is the next most widely supported... but even that has inconsistent line-breaking applied across programs (noted in Post #45 referenced above).
(Now, the reason why you would ever want a thin space to actually line-break baffles me...)

Sadly, yes.
There's also all these ugly and hackish "solutions" floating around online, like trying to do:
Code:
<p>―<small> </small>This is a sentence.</p>
but that would probably introduce even worse issues.

Indeed. Most common case in English is inner/outer quotes right next to each other:
“And then she said, ‘Are they supported yet?’ ”
but French... there just ain't no way around it!

Maybe we could poke them and get these few posts split. It sure would make it easier to find if you didn't have search-engine-fu like me. :P
