How do I insert non breaking space character nbsp in a JSF page

Question

How do I insert a non breaking space character in JSF page like I can in HTML using  amp nbsp   Is there such a tag in JSF

User · Answer

If your using the RichFaces library you can also use the tag rich:spacer which will add an "invisible" image with a given length and height. Usually much easier and prettier than to add tons of nbsp;.

Where you want your space to show you simply add:

<rich:spacer height="1" width="2" />

Putting the HTML number directly did the trick for me    amp  160

Eventually  you can try this one  if just using  amp nbsp  fails      lt h outputText value   amp  nbsp   escape  false   gt     like Tom  I added a space between  amp  and nbsp

I found that the parser would complain if I used the  amp nbsp  entity in my page   After a little research  I learned that if I added a DOCTYPE declaration to the beginning of the page  the entity was allowed   I use this DOCTYPE declaration    lt  DOCTYPE html PUBLIC  -  W3C  DTD XHTML 1 0 Transitional  EN   http   www w3 org TR xhtml1 DTD xhtml1-transitional dtd  gt    A side effect of this is that the resulting code  as seen by using the  view source  feature of a web browser  doesn t actually contain the  amp nbsp  entity   It instead includes the actual characters that represent a nonbreaking space   Although it works  it s not really what I want   I m still looking for a way to make the parser not replace the entity with the character   More information here  http   java net jira browse JAVASERVERFACES-1576
