RE: [docbook-apps] nobr tag

["Peter Ring" <PRI@magnus.dk>]

<nobr> is not an element in any HTML DTD except the Internet Explorer 3.0 DTD [1][2], as far as I know. 

To control rendering, you should preferably use CSS. You might as well then set up a rule that selects the element to be rendered 'without breaks', e.g. by matching on the value of the class attribute.

Try { white-space: nowrap } [3]. Expect problems with Internet Explorer 6 [4].

kind regards

I'm looking for a tag in docbook that transforms to <nobr> in html or has a similar effect.
what would be the best way to do that?
