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 paragraph justification. Giving the package option \opt{[ragged]} allows a line before the unbreakable text to be cut short. You should declare \cmd{\sloppy} in your document. \end{document}
