WordPress

WordPress is the most used Content Management Systems in the world.

Glyphs

Soft Hyphen

A soft hyphen is basically an optional hyphen. When inserting into a word, you’re basically telling the program to break here if necessary only.

Non-Breaking Hyphen

A non-breaking hyphen is a glyph which shows a hyphen but does not wrap to a new line.

Non-Breaking Space

A space between two words which does not wrap to a new line.

Line Breaks

The difference between both line breaks is that one creates a new paragraph and therefore a gap between both text lines, and the other one only moves the following to the next line without creating a gap.

Soft Line Break (Shift + Enter)

Line 1
Line 2

Hard Line Break (Enter)

Line 1

Line 2
