replace <nobr> using CSS (9.98 KB, patch)

Description Felix Riemann 2008-05-24 12:56:25 UTC 
Currently gtk-doc generated API docs use the <nobr> element for the shortcuts in the header (Top|Description|Object Hierarchy...). This is to prevent line breaks between them.
The <nobr> element is not part of the HTML standard and thus the resulting docs are not fully valid HTML.

The HTML standard offers the &nbsp char [1] as a replacement for this.
Theoretically it should be also possible to do this using the "white-space" CSS property.

This replaces the <nobr> using the "white-space" property.
