Inhibit line-breaking inside syntactic elements

Inhibit line-breaking inside syntactic elements

[Chong Yidong]

I am currently writing a major mode for the Wiki markup language used
in Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org), and I need help figuring out
how to stop filling functions from breaking lines inside certain
syntactic constructs.

In Wiki markup, links are surrounded by two sets of braces,
[[like this]]. For various reasons, the entire link should be placed
on the same line, so I need to prevent auto-fill and fill-paragraph
from automatically inserting newlines inside such a construct ([[like
this]]).

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

-- Yidong

| fill-nobreak-predicate's value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, a predicate for recognizing places not to break a line.
| The predicate is called with no arguments, with point at the place
| to be tested.  If it returns t, fill commands do not break the line there.

| Defined in `textmodes/fill'.
