-Use \cmd{\nolbreaks}\marg{some text} to prevent linebreaks in \meta{some text}.
-This has the advantage over \verb+\mbox{}+ that glue (rubber space)
-remains flexible. It has the disadvantage of not working in
-all cases! Most common cases are handled here (\cmd{\linebreak} is
-disabled, for example) but spaces hidden in macros or \verb+{ }+
-can still create break-points.

Large pieces of text with no breaks can cause problems with

-You should declare \cmd{\sloppy} in your document.
+You should declare \cmd{\sloppy} or set a raised \cmd{\tolerance} in
+your document when you have large non-breaking chunks.

+The command name \cmd{\nolbreaks} is long to type, so you should

+ \ \verb'\newcommand\n{\nolbreaks}'.
