An
HTML tag that is a bit old but still seems to be supported by
IE6 and others. Has the effect of preventing text enclosed between it and its terminator counterpart tag being broken up if it crosses the edge of the text area. If the text needs to be wrapped then the whole nobr-ed section is wrapped to the next line and if it
still won't fit then it just continues past the edge (possibly resizing the page or
table or whatever to contain it).
Example:
Whereas this text will be broken up if wrapped at the edge of the page <nobr>this text will not</nobr>
This is utterly
useless on E2 however, because it's not one of the
recognised tags and as such seems to be stripped from any submitted writeups etc, so it's only for use in yer own webpages.
A healthier (
W3C officially supported) tag is the <
pre> tag which defines that the text between it and its brother, </pre>, is preformatted and therefore shallt not be mess-ed with by man nor
browser. Of course text within such tags is forced to a
fixed width font such as
courier, so it's not a great replacement for <nobr>.
