Non-Breaking Lines

Tells the browser to never break the phrase under any circumstances. The phrase will always appear as a single line of text. If the phrase cannot fit in the existing line, the entire phrase will break down to a new line. Similarly, if no further text can fit on the line created by this break, the text will break down to the next line after that.

Example and Explanation

In the following example, we have some text followed by a phone number. A customer or client may become confused if the phone number breaks to a new line in the middle, so we would want to prevent it from breaking.
