How to prevent CSS fonts from wrapping

CSS is a language used for web page layout. It can control the style and arrangement of various elements on a web page. Among them, fonts are an important part of web page layout. When using CSS to set fonts, we often encounter a problem: when the font is too long, it will automatically wrap, resulting in unsatisfactory page layout. So, how to make CSS fonts not wrap?

When using CSS to set fonts, we usually use the "white-space" keyword. The function of this keyword is to set the way whitespace is handled inside the element. It has three optional values, namely "normal" (default value), "nowrap" and "pre-wrap".

• normal: Indicates that the blanks inside the element will be ignored by the browser, and multiple blanks will be merged into one blank.
• nowrap: Indicates that the blank space inside the element will be ignored by the browser, but the words will not be separated. The element will be displayed on one line. If a single line cannot be displayed completely, overflow processing will be performed. This is the default way we usually use it.
• pre-wrap: Indicates that the whitespace inside the element will be retained, inline elements can be automatically wrapped, but the words will not be separated, and the element will be displayed on multiple lines.

So, if we want to prevent CSS fonts from wrapping, we only need to set "white-space" to "nowrap". For example, the following code will prevent a line of text from wrapping automatically:

div{
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Similarly, if we want multiple lines of text to not wrap automatically, we can also set "white-space" to "pre-wrap". For example, the following code will prevent the text within a paragraph from automatically wrapping:

p{
  white-space: pre-wrap;
}

However, it should be noted that when using "pre-wrap", we need to ensure that the container where the text is located has sufficient height. , otherwise the text will exceed the scope of the container and cause overflow.

In addition to setting "white-space", we can also use other methods to achieve CSS fonts without line wrapping. For example, you can use the "word-wrap" keyword to control whether text wraps automatically. This keyword has two optional values, "normal" and "break-word". Among them, "normal" means that the words will not be separated. If a single line cannot be displayed completely, overflow will be processed. "break-word" means that the blank space inside the element will be retained. Inline elements can be automatically wrapped, but the words will be separated.

Here is an example code where text is not wrapped and words can be separated:

div{
  word-wrap: break-word;
  white-space: normal;
}

It should be noted that when using "word-wrap", inline elements will only be between words. If there are some long words without spaces in a single line of text, they may not be displayed completely.

In short, mastering the skill of CSS fonts without line breaks is one of the essential skills for making beautiful web pages. By rationally using the keywords "white-space" and "word-wrap", we can more flexibly control the arrangement of text, create a more beautiful interface, and improve the user experience.
