| In ] and ]s, the term '''hard space''' has several meanings, all related to a special way of representing the ] between characters. | |||
| *The most commonly used meaning is the same as ''']''', a special space character used by a ] that forbids an automatic line breaking (]) at its position. | |||
| *In earlier days of ]s that worked with ] ] ], when a paragraph had to be ], this was achieved by means of inserting extra '''soft spaces''' at ]s. The soft spaces were so called because they could be "compressed" away during further editing. By contrast, ordinary spaces were called ''hard'' or ''incompressible'' spaces. | |||
| *Also, in some older text editors, the hard spaces were both ''non-expandable''—i.e., no soft spaces could be added to them—and non-breaking ones. | |||
| * In many ]s and game ], a hard space was a special kind of field delimiter, against which a filename could be examined or listed, or a semantic thought or consideration could be interpreted. | |||
| * In the ] directory system, a hard space usually terminated the spelling of a filename, and was replaced with a quotation mark when listed to the user. | |||
