Inline <code> elements should use white-space: nowrap styling #1505

When using single-backtick inline code elements, one is almost always writing the name of a variable or a command line invocation that should be treated as a single token and not split across multiple lines.

Here are some examples where adding white-space: nowrap; to rendered inline <code> elements greatly improves readability, reduces confusion, and simplifies copy & pasting:

Agreed, this is making my GitHub wiki hard to read at times. Using nowrap would greatly improve this! I tried messing around with <style> myself, but that is all ignored/sanitized by GitHub Markdown :-(

If anyone has a quick fix on how to solve this locally for GitHub wikis, please share :-)
