Adding "nowrap" to a table cell or row should force the browser to not wrap lines at spaces. However, media wiki ignores these. For example, putting this in an article: {| width="50" |- |nowrap|hello world |} <TABLE width="50"> <TR nowrap> <TD nowrap>hello world</TD> </TR> </TABLE> will generate the following HTML: <table width="50"> <tr> <td>hello world</td> </tr> </table> <table width="50"> <tr> <td>hello world</td> </tr> </table> which is clearly missing the nowrap attribute. The only way to actually force this is to replace all spaces with the "& nbsp ;" equivalent, which is nothing short of a hack.
The nowrap attribute is deprecated in HTML 4[1], and since we don't already support it we probably aren't going to add it. Have you tried the equivalent CSS bit[2]? Something like style="white-space:nowrap" should do it. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#adef-nowrap [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/text.html#white-space-prop
Actually, the updated HTML sanitizer code in 1.5 already allows this attribute. Resolving FIXED.
