There's a class for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Nowrap

Nowrap is an excellent idea, I guess is would be extremely useful. Nevertheless the goal was to solve the "dotted lines into index summaries quiz" and I just found an alternative way to obtain what I needed, avoiding nowrap and covering too the case of text longer than a single row into a html box:

I don't know if such a trick is "original" - it's so hard to discover something new into wiki...;-) -  but I know that I'm searching for it from the beginning of my source trip. :-)
