I am finding a need for a "No Break" feature in TextView similar to the  of HTML. Specifically I am using WordWrap and I want to have quoted strings to call them out as definitions, e.g. "Provide a 'TextView' object for displaying text" but I am finding that wrapping is happening at the quote and so I get some like thing:

......................... Provide a '
TextView' object for displaying text.

Maybe an even simpler option would be to not wrap on quoted strings, except inside the string when there is no option?

The problem in your case is rather that WordWrap() shouldn't have broken the string after the '. I think I used the wrong regex character class here. The latest commit fixes this.

Apart from that, it's unlikely that I will introduce a nobr-like tag in the near future. With all the tags tview already supports, the code has become very complex and I've rewritten it multiple times. It would be heading towards an "HTML widget" which is an entire project on its own. I have no plans for something like that.
