What is the cleanest way to ensure that a string all appears on the same line, unless it is too long?
In the following text we want all of instance of "BACON" to appear on the same line.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, BACON BACON BACON BACON. Mauris sit amet
laoreet ante.
That is, we want to disallow the insertion of a line break into "BACON [...] BACON." unless the string is so long that prohibiting a line break causes line overflow. If the strings it too long, we want the BACONs to be treated as if they were just normal text. Additional commands inside of the string of bacons, such as it
and bf
should still work.
Note that mbox
will ensure that "BACON [...] BACON" will all appear on one line, but mbox
also risks line overflow.
