defining HTML line-break points?

Hi folks,
Does anyone know if it's possible in HTML to define preferred points for
breaking a line -- something that a browser would interpret as "hey, if you
have to wrap this line, break it <here>";
Here's the instance I have in mind; at the bottom of our library page we
have links to the other sections of the University web page, separated by
pipes "|"
| Wittenberg Home | Prospective Students | Wittenberg Students | Alumni &
Friends | Parents & Visitors | Faculty & Staff |
In some browsers/resolutions/fonts this shows up very nicely all in one
line; in some it wraps. On *my* screen, it breaks at the ampersand in
"Parents & Visitors"; I'd rather have it break a pipe where it has to break
at all, but I'd rather not have it break when possible.
Any ideas, or am i just too darn picky?
Thanks
Ken
