In LaTeX one can use ~ to produce a non-breaking space. Is there an analogue in org-mode?

  • I'm exporting a document to LaTeX, and the calling of a reference break at the end of line... interpret the following "... as shown in Ref. [3]" -> "... as shown in Ref. \n [3]". But "... as shown in Ref.\nbsp[3]" -> "... as shown in \n Ref. [3]". i.e. it forces the word Ref. to stay together with the calling [3].

I ran across this problem myself while writing up some reports. Beyond the answer provided by @Andrew Swann (and mentioned by @manandearth above), according to the manual (https://orgmode.org/manual/Special-Symbols.html), you can insert a non-breaking-space using the \nbsp{} LaTeX command.

If you have evil, you can use ~evil-insert-digraph~ and then the default nonbreaking space is simply NS. The various alternate width nonbreaking spaces are 1N, 1M, 3M etc. (see line 243ff in ~evil-show-digraph~).
