Hint

March 1, 2000 by Michael Boyle

If you ever write in French and want to code it in html, dust off your &-n-b-s-p and use it often. In French, it is mandatory to leave a space between a colon and the sentence it precedes. If you do not use a non-breaking space, you’re in trouble. It’s like Murphy’s law or something.
