Html: "-" is the same as space ""?

Question

In html if i create html table with column like this

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>This is your ID</td>
        <td>021-000-00001</td>
        <td>...</td>
    </tr>
</table>

space and - will call multiple lines when rendered. So for space the solution is:

<td>This&nbsp;is&nbsp;your&nbsp;ID</td>

but for the dash - even I will replace it with -, for example

<td>021&mdash;000&mdash;00001</td>

it still appears as multiple lines.

How to solve it?

Try something like

<td style="white-space: nowrap;">021-000-00001</td>

which should stop breaking it in hyphens.
