<nobr>

The <nobr> element in HTML is used to prevent text from wrapping to the next line, keeping it on a single line.

<nobr> Tag

The <nobr> tag prevents text from breaking into multiple lines, keeping it on a single line. If the content exceeds the available space, a horizontal scrollbar appears instead of wrapping. Unlike standard text behavior, which naturally moves to the next line, <nobr> enforces continuous text display.

Syntax

index.html
<nobr>This text will not break into multiple lines.</nobr>

<nobr> Demo

This is a long line of text that will not wrap even if it extends beyond the width of the container.

index.html
<p>
  <nobr>
    This is a long line of text that will not wrap even if it extends beyond the width of the container.
  </nobr>
</p>

Key Points

  • Purpose: Prevents text from wrapping and forces it to stay on a single line.
  • Deprecated: The <nobr> tag is obsolete and should not be used in modern web development.
  • Modern Alternative: Use CSS properties like white-space: nowrap; to achieve the same effect.

Conclusion

The <nobr> tag was historically used to prevent text wrapping, but it is now deprecated in HTML. Instead, using CSS (white-space: nowrap;) is the preferred approach, offering better flexibility and compatibility across browsers. While <nobr> may still function, it is not recommended for modern web development due to its outdated nature.

<mark>

The HTML <mark> element is used to highlight text, usually with a yellow background, to signify relevance or importance, like for search results or essential information.

<p>

The <p> tag in HTML is used to define a paragraph of text, typically creating space before and after the content.
