1. non breaking space
Essentially, since HTML only recognizes one space as in a space entered by the spacebar, if you want to put more spaces in your page you use the code for nonbreaking space.

3. Non-breaking space
It prevents the automatic adjustment, justification and parsing of your spaces against your intention.

4. Also...

... " " or not to " "? If you dont pair your " ", your attributes may or may not show. You will return to the source code repeatedly, the first two times this happens when coding, until you notice the unpaired ", upon correction, your webpage will show with all those attributes related to the said " " that didnt show before you added the " to make a correct pairing, such as " ".

I hope today's lesson in html was educational for you.
