Re: nbsp?

Harry,

nbsp is the entity name for a non-breaking spaceband, expressed   in an
instance.

It is not defined for XSL-FO.  Thus Ken's contribution below.  One may also,
though it is probably bad form, use the direct unicode value for the char in
hex (below), octal or decimal:

 

Popularized in HTML as a layout control character due to it resisting the
minimization applied to other space expressions.
