Making a piece of text non-breaking?
HtmlCssNowrapHtml Problem Overview
say I have a piece of text like this
> Hello I am some text Hello I am some > text Hello I am some text Hello I am > some text I do not wish to be broken > on new lines
Consider the above paragraph. I want for the bolded part to not be broken across a new line if possible. As in, I want it to break if it would require a scrollbar or something, but not break if it is possible to insert a page-break before or after that piece of text so that it can fit on one line.
How is this possible? I have tried things like page-break-inside and such, but it doesn't seem to do anything in firefox.
Html Solutions
Solution 1 - Html
Use the white-space property:
Hello I am some text Hello I am some text Hello I am some text
Hello I am some text <span class="nobr">I do not wish to be
broken on new lines</span>
with:
span.nobr { white-space: nowrap; }
Solution 2 - Html
Adding this for completeness:
If you do not want to use CSS, you could use <nobr>text with space</nobr> - reference here
For pure text blocks, i believe not-anymore-depricated html formatting tags like <i>, <b>, <nobr> and alike are valid for use.
For content relating to the site structure use <em>, <strong> and <span class="">.
Solution 3 - Html
bootstrap 4 has a class="text-nowrap"
