How to allow no breaks in the enclosed text in HTML?

Use the <nobr> tag to allow no breaks in the enclosed text in HTML. The HTML <nobr> tag is used to instruct the browser not to break the specified text.

This is used with the <wbr> tag, <wbr> advises the extended browser when it may insert a line break in an otherwise nonbreakable sequence of text. Unlike the <br> tag, which always causes a line break, even within a <nobr>- tagged segment, the <wbr> tag works only when placed inside a <nobr>- tagged content segment and causes a line break only if the current line has already extended beyond the browser's display window margins.

Example

You can try to run the following code to allow no breaks in the enclosed text in HTML −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>HTML nobr Tag</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <nobr>This is a very long sequence of text that is forced to be
      on a single line, even if doing so causes <wbr />

      the browser to extend the document window beyond the size of the
      viewing pane and the poor user must scroll right <wbr />

      to read the entire line.
      </nobr>
   </body>
</html>
