Hi,
I'm trying to read ePubs that I'm creating. However, iBooks won't recognize & n b s p ; (it says it's invalid and cuts the page off at the first place this appears). I'm working on MacBook Air, MacOS Sierra, version 10.12.6. My iBooks version is 1.10 (1289).
iBook
I export them from InDesign and edit them in Dreamweaver or Sigil. I need to use nonbreaking spaces for multiple things that pop up as I edit, but the most common thing is to insert space between numbers and the text that follows. Usually I try to use the numbered list feature instead of manually typing numbers, but in the case of lists with multiple numbers (example below), sometimes no matter what you do it still shows up wrong (1 instead of a) and
1. Lorem Ipsum
a. Lorem Ipusm
Ibooks also won't accept the codes for em spaces or en spaces, but those are more annoyances.
When you say iBooks isn't accepting it, do you mean that it's ignoring the non breaking space or will it not read the file all together?
Is there any way you can provide a one page or small sample epub we can take a look at?
It will read the file up to the first nonbreaking space, then it will say there's an error and that there's an invalid tag.
I can, but I'll need to create one; I can't publish any of my company's epubs so I'll need to create a test one.
What app are you using to create your epub?
What are you using nonbreaking space for?
I think the biggest question is, does the ePub validate? If it does, iBooks should display properly.
Yes; they validate.
& N B S P ; is a valid code, but for some reason iBooks isn't accepting it.
Does the same thing happen if you use the actual character instead of the html entity? Unicode 00A0 in Character Viewer.
I don't know how to do unicode.

If you are using the US keyboard layout, try Option plus Space.
Nonbreaking Space Invalid?
