Markdown can implement non-breaking spaces as escaped spaces (see R Markdown Cookbook). This appears to be partially supported already in Obsidian editor mode but not in viewer mode.

Steps to reproduce

1. In editor mode, enter escaped spaces like keep the social \ \ \ distance
2. Enter viewer mode.

Markdown can implement non-breaking spaces as escaped spaces (see R Markdown Cookbook ). This appears to be partially supported already in Obsidian editor mode but not in viewer mode.
