German term or phrase: Formatierungsanweisungen
Viele Programme bieten die Möglichkeit, geschützte Leerzeichen oder fakultative Trennstriche einzugeben, an denen kein automatischer Umbruch durchgeführt werden darf bzw. eine Worttrennung bevorzugt durchgeführt werden soll (weiches Trennzeichen) (wenn z. B. die Worttrennung im integrierten Wörterbuch fehlt). In HTML existieren hierzu ***Formatierungsanweisungen*** (wie etwa ) oder die Anweisung kein automatischer Zeilenumbruch in der Absatzformatierung (in CSS white-space:nowrap; früher auch mit dem nicht standardisierten HTML-Tag ).

formatting instructions


Explanation:
Simply search for the sample sentence in the www.w3.org reference stated in the Web references.

Example sentence(s):
  • HTML relies almost entirely on the tags for formatting instructions, and without the <P> tags, the document would become one large paragraph.

neutral  Mack Tillman: @Michael: If you follow w3.org which is actually the standard setting entity regarding HTML, then you will notice that they use instructions.
