\ProvidesPackage{nolbreaks}[2012/05/31 \space v 1.2 \space 
   - no linebreaks in text]

%  Use \nolbreaks{some text} to prevent linebreaks in "some text".
%  This has the advantage over \mbox{} that glue (rubber space) 
%  remains flexible.  It has the disadvantage of not working in 
%  all cases!  Most common cases are handled here (\linebreak is 
%  disabled, for example) but spaces hidden in macros or braces 
%  can still create break-points.  Conversely, syntactic space
%  characters not so hidden may cause command errors, so try to
%  avoid such complexity by using simple text.
%
%  Large pieces of text with no breaks can cause problems with
%  paragraph justification.  Using the alternate \nolbreaks*
%  allows a line before the unbreakable text to be cut short
%  (like ragged-right).  Giving the package option [ragged]
%  converts all \nolbreaks commands to \nolbreaks*.
%  
%  You should declare \sloppy or set a raised \tolerance in 
%  your document when you have large non-breaking chunks.
%
%  The command name "\nolbreaks" is long to type, so you should 
%  probably declare a shorter name if you use it a lot, like
%     \newcommand\n{\nolbreaks}
%  or define commands for the text you want unbroken.
