NaN
NaN stands for Not a Number. NaNs are used to represent the results of
operations that are not real numbers or are too big to fit into a
float and therefore cannot be adequately represented with a float.
In
SL, generating a NaN (by 1.0/0.0) will crash the
script.
NaNs in General
NaNs can behave quite differently among the many and varied implementations of computer-based
arithmetic. For example, Java has special NaNs to represent
positive infinity and negative infinity. NaNs can be represented by any one of a range of float
bit patterns. Some implementations apply further meaning to individual NaN
values, such as whether an exception should be raised when it is encountered in an operation.

Q:
What is the simplest way to make it so NaNs does not get an auto link?
A:
Unfortunately, to put double-double quotes ("") around the phrase. I wish there was some better way :-/ -Chris
