[Framers] [WTF ramemaker] RE: Anyone know of a way to include a non-breaking hyphen/dash in a variable definition?

[David Spreadbury]

I an currently using Framemaker 2015 and use "\+" in many variables. I also have many documents in older versions and it works there as well.

    How about:
    \x15

    \x15 is a VERY old way to do it, but perhaps not hamstrung yet? The
    \x2011 is me guessing at a way the modern Unicode hex value could be
    inserted for interpretation by FM.
    Alternately, type one or insert one using the symbols palette, copy
    it, and see if it pastes into the definition?

    There's GOT to be a way... similarly, thinspace is often a critical
    one, for volatile (or scoped/personalized) measurements and their
    units of measure.
