Prevent line breaks before or after `<a>` tag

Question

I have an ebook which contains a code like:

Some text (<a id="aref"></a>Some more text) that continues

I need the anchor to refer to this part of the text in the index. However, the tag allows line breaks, so I often end up with a line break right after (.

Is there a way to prevent these line breaks (putting the anchor before the ( is not an option).

Answer 1

Make your anchor tag inline using the CSS property display: inline, for example:

 <a style="display: inline;" >
