non-breakable hyphen

[Gilbert Saint-Flour]

Hello:

How can I prevent a string of characters which contains a hyphen (e.g.
ABCDEF-GH) from being split when it is displayed at the end of a line and
there isn't enough room for it? I know <nobr>ABCDEF-GH</nobr> will do the
trick, but is there another solution ?

Thanks.
