How to make td (cell) from html table expand for the row to fit in one line?

Question

In some html cells (td) the text is wrapped because the size of the column is smaller than the size of the text on the cell. I don't want the text to be wrapped, I want the column width to expand so the wrapping don't happen!

How can I do that?

One final note, I only can use html code, no css :(

Confusing question, but I think you might be looking for the colspan="x" attribute.

<table>
   <tr>
      <td>1</td>
      <td>2</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td colspan="2">fills both columns</td>
   </tr>
</table>
