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

Not necessary to give 160   141 will also work  For the value field provide value   amp  141

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    lt rich spacer height  1  width  2    gt

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

User · Answer

just to add to options   lt h outputText value   amp amp nbsp   escape  false   gt  worked
