Non-breaking space in Pootle

Hi everyone,

Is there a possibility to insert/use "breaking space" into Pootle ?

A breaking space is a space that acts like a character and allows to avoid situations like when punctuations signs at the edge of a sheet appear separate from the rest of the sentence :

Without breaking space :

Quoted

Activate the Thankomat for this post [edge of the sheet]
;

With breaking space :

Quoted

Activate the Thankomat for this [edge of the sheet]
post ;

In HTML :  

Thanks for your help.

I guess you mean "non-breaking space". I think it depends on the particular project. If it's a website translation, I think you can insert the HTML tag   and it will work. But if it's a book or document translation, I'm really not sure.
