Hinweis: TBD TBD.

•  First define the rules according to which non-breaking spaces should be inserted between specific terms (text and/or numbers). Click on the “Typography functions” button in the “Ty-pography” group on the “*Publish” tab.

• The task field will open.

• In the task field, select “Add rule” in the following dialogue on the “Coupler” tab. A dialogue will appear.

• In the dialogue you have the possibility to define the respective elements of the coupler rule in the area "Left" and "Right".

Left / Right [0-9] and [a-z]

• Enter the exact text that is situated to the left or right of the non-breaking space or select placeholders:

• [0-9] for any number

• [a-z] for any letter

“Couple” or “Closely couple” / “Suppress spacing” or “Force spacing”

Select how the two terms should be coupled:

• Couple: “normal width” non-breaking space; example: EUR 251 million.

• Closely couple: inserts a narrow non-breaking space to reduce the spacing between the terms; example: 100thinsp;%.

• Suppress spacing: suppressed space, i.e. no spacing between the terms; particularly suita-ble if different rules apply to different languages; example: the spacing required in German between the number and percent symbol should be suppressed in English

• Force spacing: non-breaking space, even though it was not entered when the text was in-put; example: “[09]” and “%”.

• Click “OK” to confirm your selection.
