LaTeX: Prevent line break in a span of text

How do you keep words together in LaTeX?

The correct answer may be to put the two word in an \mbox{keep together} . Then you avoid hyphenation, but not overfull lines. Then, you can write \MSA/ (notice the slash), and LaTeX will not eat a following space. Unfortunately, such commands may be awkward to type keyboards other than US-English.

How do I keep a line open in LaTeX?

Latex has come up with another way to add a line break or skip a line within the data. Therefore, we will be using the \break command in the code to do so. Before that, we have added new text data as a paragraph within the \begin and \end command as below. Execute and run this code file by using both arrow icons.

How do I leave a space between lines in LaTeX?

You may have noticed that, in general, LaTeX ignores white space. A paragraph in LaTeX is defined by leaving a blank line. If you just want to leave a line blank to make the text more readable in the source, then you just need to add a comment character, "%", at the start.

How do you prevent a line from breaking in CSS?

The white-space property has numerous options, all of which define how to treat white space inside a given element. Here, you have set white-space to nowrap , which will prevent all line breaks.


\mbox is the simplest answer. Regarding the update:

TeX prefers overlong lines to adding too much space between words on a line; I think the idea is that you will notice the lines that extend into the margin (and the black boxes it inserts after such lines), and will have a chance to revise the contents, whereas if there was too much space, you might not notice it.

Use \sloppy or \begin{sloppypar}...\end{sloppypar} to adjust this behavior, at least a little. Another possibility is \raggedright (or \begin{raggedright}...\end{raggedright}).


Surround it with an \mbox{}


Also, if you have two subsequent words in regular text and you want to avoid a line break between them, you can use the ~ character.

For example:

As we can see in Fig.~\ref{BlaBla}, there is nothing interesting to see. A~better place..

This can ensure that you don't have a line starting with a figure number (without the Fig. part) or with an uppercase A.


Use \nolinebreak

\nolinebreak[number]

The \nolinebreak command prevents LaTeX from breaking the current line at the point of the command. With the optional argument, number, you can convert the \nolinebreak command from a demand to a request. The number must be a number from 0 to 4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request is.

Define myurl command:


\def\myurl{\hfil\penalty 100 \hfilneg \hbox}

I don't want to cause line overflows, 
I'd just rather LaTeX insert linebreaks before

regions rather than inside them.
