For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together.

A table is an arrangement of columns and rows that organizes and positions data or images. Tables can be created on Wikipedia pages using special wikitext syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them.
More template styles for tables: {{sticky header}} - Makes column headers stick to the top of the page while scrolling through table data. {} - moves the sorting arrows under the headers. {{row hover highlight}} - adds row hover highlighting, and option for white background. {{static row numbers}} - adds a column of row numbers to a table.

These variants respectively specify whether the full lines of a paragraph are aligned on the left or the right, centered (edges not aligned), or fully justified (spread over the whole column width).
