<nobr> Description
The <nobr>. . . </nobr> prevents
linebreaks from being put into a line that would otherwise be put in to allow
for normal text wrapping (hence its name, from "no break"). Be careful with
this tag though, because very long, unbroken lines can look pretty silly.
"<wbr>" stands for "word break," and it is useful only within a
<nobr>. . . </nobr> section. It
does not force a break (like <br>
does), but it allows a break to occur, if needed, in an otherwise
non-breaking string of text.
<nobr> Examples
In the following examples, adjust the window/frame width to see that the
no-break sections indeed remain unbroken, regardless of window/frame width.
This markup:
<![CDATA[
I sent a letter to <nobr>Mr. Schmoe</nobr>
on <nobr>July 1.</nobr> Won't he be
<nobr>surprised. . .</nobr>
]]>
. . .causes the following to be displayed:
I sent a letter to Mr. Schmoe
on July 1. Won't he be
surprised. . .
This markup (note the spaces before the <wbr> tags):
<![CDATA[
<nobr>Right here is some text <wbr>that will only
be broken if necessary, <wbr>and then only in
specified locations.</nobr>
]]>
. . .causes the following to be displayed (adjust the width of the window or
frame and notice where the breaks appear):
Right here is some text that will only
be broken if necessary, and then only in
specified locations.
