    The <white-space> Property

    The <white-space> property

    The possible values of the white-space property are:

    inherit
    use the value of the white-space property from the style attribute coded on the current element's parent or inherited from one of its ancestors
    normal
    nowrap
    pre
    pre-line
    pre-wrap

    Examples

    To prevent text from potentially wrapping at an inappropriate place, you can code the white-space: nowrap property. This example is an alternative to coding &nbsp; (non-breaking space). 

                                     <span style="white-space: nowrap">12:00 pm</span> is noon

    Since HTML coders should avoid the deprecated <nobr> tag, you can include white-space: nowrap in a CSS file, and code <span> tags with class="nobr" instead: 

                                     <span class="nobr">12:00 am</span> is midnight
                                 
    
                              
                                     .nobr {
                                 
    
                                    white-space: nowrap;
                                 
    
                                 }
