# NoBreak

since version 2.3.14

Don’t allow a line break within this element

## Child elements

`A`, `Action`, `B`, `Br`, `Color`, `Fontface`, `ForAll`, `Frame`, `HSpace`, `I`, `Image`, `Loop`, `NoBreak`, `Span`, `Sub`, `Sup`, `Switch`, `U`, `URL`, `Value`

## Parent elements

`A`, `B`, `Case`, `Color`, `Fontface`, `ForAll`, `I`, `Li`, `Loop`, `NoBreak`, `While`

## Attributes

`factor` (number, optional)

  Multiplier for the font size when reduce=fontsize. Default value: 0.9. That means the font size gets decreased by 0.9 until the text fits the objects width.

`fontface` (text, optional)

  Deprecated. Use `fontfamily` instead.

`fontfamily` (text, optional)

  The name of the fontface for text to be reduced. The default is »text« (lowercase t).

`maxwidth` (number or length, optional)

  Set the maximum width of the text if it cannot be deduced from the current surrounding (such as table cells).

`reduce` (optional)

  Reduce the text size if necessary.

  `fontsize`

    Reduces the text by decreasing the font size.

  `cut`

    Inserts text given in the attribute text if the paragraph is too long.

  `keeptogether`

    Don’t allow a line break within NoBreak (default)

`text` (optional, since version 2.3.53)

  The text to be inserted if the paragraph should be cut. For example '…​'

## Example

    <PlaceObject>
      <Textblock width="5">
        <Paragraph>
          <NoBreak reduce="fontsize" factor="0.7">
            <Value>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Value>
          </NoBreak>
          <Value> </Value>
          <Value>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Value>
        </Paragraph>
      </Textblock>
    </PlaceObject>
