: The Non-Breaking Text element

{{deprecated_header}}

The <nobr> HTML element prevents the text it contains from automatically wrapping across multiple lines, potentially resulting in the user having to scroll horizontally to see the entire width of the text.

[!WARNING] Although this element is widely supported, it was never standard HTML, so you shouldn't use it. Instead, use the CSS property {{CSSxRef("white-space")}} like this:

<span class="nobr">Long line with no breaks</span>

.nobr {
  white-space: nowrap;
}
