Non-breakable inline code block in markdown document

Question

I have words delimited by dashes inside of inline code block. And I don't want the browser to break them. I searched for the solution and found that there is a non-breaking hyphen ‑. But when I try to put it between backquotes markdown translates & into & and the magic doesn't work.

So, is there any simple method to make markdown's inline code block non-breakable?

Answer 1

If ‑ doesn't work with the markdown editor, you could always use white-space:nowrap.

span { white-space:nowrap; }

Example usage:

<span>Words-with-hyphens</span>
