Named Characters

## 14.2 Named Whitespaces

There is a small number of whatever you want to name it. The look like named characters, but will be printed not always, or not at all.

thinsp

  Thin space:

  `d&thinsp;D` ->d D

emsp

  Emphasized space: `d&emsp;D` -> d D

ensp

  Normal space: /d&ensp;D/ -> d D

nbsp

  No break space: A spaces at wich the line is not allowed to be broken. Two words separated by a `nbsp` will be treated by parser and mapper to be a single long one.

shy

  Suggest Hyphen: If the mapper is up to break a word, with has the `shy` tag inside, it will probably do the wordbreak at the place of the `shy` tag and place a hyphen instead. If no wordbreak is necessary the `shy` expands to nothging at all.
