Making a piece of text non-breaking?


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.


Solution

  • 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; }
