Nowrap is an excellent idea, I guess is would be extremely useful.
Nevertheless the goal was to solve the "dotted lines into index summaries
quiz" and I just found an alternative way to obtain what I needed, avoiding
nowrap and covering too the case of text longer than a single row into a
html box:
http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Pagina_delle_prove#Ancora_puntini
I don't know if such a trick is "original" - it's so hard to discover
something new into wiki...;-) - but I know that I'm searching for it from
the beginning of my source trip. :-)

1. Thank you Nemo!! Problem solved.
2. There are lots of string functions already implemented - lc, uc, lcfirs,
ucfirst, #titleparts... PAGENAME, FULLPAGENAME, BASEPAGENAME... - today.
IMHO a generalized *split* function would be great to extend just a little
bit the field of #titleparts to implement an efficient, simple way to manage
simple arrays. StringFunctions could fire fantasy - *split* function would
only increase efficiency to solve common issues.

This should be http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions ,
which will never be implemented in Wikimedia projects.

[Wikisource-l] Proposal: two desirable ParserFunctions
I can't "open a bug" (bugzilla is very confusing for me) and I don't know
how to browse old proposals/requests, so I feel better to post here two
ideas, just to let you revise them and - if you like - to go on into
bugzilla.
1. I'd like to have a {{nbsp:string}} function, to replace all spaces with
html entities into string. It would very useful to format table cell
content where spaces must be avoided, while saving the original string.
2. I'd like to generalize {{#titleparts:string}} transforming it into a
general str.split() function something like {{split:string|char}} where
string is the string to split, and char is the splitting character). I use a
lot #titleparts as a "string-splitter", and I can manage difficult issues
with ease (i.e.: how to pass multiple values into a single parameter of a
template) but sometimes I'd like to use a character different from / (i.e.
splitting a list of page/subpage names).
