nowrap in css

I thought this was kind of hard to find in the W3C CSS 2.1 spec, so I'll share it here.

HTML allowed you to specify a 'nowrap' attribute on <td> tags so that the table cell would expand its width using the width of the text inside it. In the XHTML world, you'd do it in CSS like this:

td {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

I wouldn't have expected this to be controlled by an attribute called 'white-space'.
