Not just deprecated - it was strictly proprietary.
I'm a big fan of <nobr> - lots of nice uses and pretty good support.
Great for when you want to have liquid content. that breaks nicely.
So your headline:
All Your Headline Are Belong To Us
Would never break as:
All Your Headline Are Belong To
Us
You could do this:
<p>All Your Headline <nobr>Are Belong To Us</nobr></p>
So that it would break only as
All Your Headline
Are Belong To Us
or stay on one line.
*but* you knew that already.
As to how you're *supposed* to do it now... there's a CSS property --
"white-space: nowrap"
which theoretically would do the same thing.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#white-space
So you could do:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.nobr { white-space: nowrap; }
//-->
</style>
<p>All Your Headline <span class="nobr">Are Belong To Us</span></p>
No idea about support for that.
