It's good to be the king, I suppose. I'd love to have all my pet peeves encoded into law.

Not as cool as North Korea&#x27;s extremely zealous use of the <i>strong</i> tag: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;5599650&#x2F;in-north-korea-even-the-html-coding-is-very-strong" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;5599650&#x2F;in-north-korea-even-the-html-cod...</a>

I had no idea this tag existed so I looked it up: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;Element&#x2F;nobr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;Element&#x2F;no...</a><p>Turns out it&#x27;s a non-standard tag. FireFox supports it though and the Red Star OS uses a browser that is a fork of Firefox[0].<p>My understanding is that the Red Star OS is the only OS used in North Korea. So I guess that means in North Korea, `nobr` _is_ in the standard.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Red_Star_OS" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Red_Star_OS</a>

I guess due to his last name. Un?<p>If you break the title of this post before his last name it would read<p>Un in official.<p>But we also know that isn&#x27;t the only reason. If you are his age with nukes I guess most would have H1 tag wrapped around it too.

It&#x27;s also bolded and, at least in the left sidebar of news articles, it was set to be 1pt larger than the surrounding font size.

Dear Leader can&#x27;t be broken in HTML or real life.

Clearly just stop his name getting split, but it&#x27;s also a nice bonus that it&#x27;s semantically correct <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandictionary.com&#x2F;define.php?term=nob" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandictionary.com&#x2F;define.php?term=nob</a>
