(originally posted to the groff email list: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2019-02/msg00106.html)

The fixed-width space characters \0, \|, and \^ are all nonbreaking, but the documentation does not say so.

A possible patch to remedy this is attached.  Perhaps only the groff.texi part of the patch should be applied; groff.7.man isn't meant to be a comprehensive reference, and this level of detail may add unnecessary clutter.
