I often use ALT+0160 on my keyboard (under WinXP) to generate a non-breaking
space. But creating a markup for an entire line would be useful...

Double-backquote isn't already used and makes sense for this; OTOH,
this sounds more like something that could go in a WikiStyle.
In PmWiki 2:
$WikiStyleCSS[] = 'white-space';
$WikiStyle['nowrap']['white-space']='nowrap';
and then in the markup:
This text can wrap %nowrap% but anything here cannot be wrapped %% and
now the browser is allowed to wrap text again.
In PmWiki 1, to do the same thing:
$WikiStyleTags['white-space']['style'] = 'white-space:$value; ';
$WikiStyle['nowrap']['white-space'] = 'nowrap';
