nobr

[kba]

If necessary, the markup may use the following non-standard tags:

• <{nobr}> to indicate that line breaking is not permitted for the enclosed content

This is indeed non-standard and was never part of any HTML spec. Has anyone an example when it would be necessary to indicate that linebreaking is not allowed? Why not white-space: nowrap; CSS?

The title of this issue is 'nobr and wbr'...

wbr is not tthe problem, nobr is.

Actually it is if you want to support any version of IE.

Actually it is if you want to support any version of IE.

Seriously though, you have a point, I'm not sure how well hOCR and IE go together, that might warrant its own issue.

hOCR was design in 2007. At that time IE was the dominant player.

hOCR should suppert IE11.

If we ever publish hOCR v2.0, it would be reasonable to drop support for that loved 😆 browser .
