Template:Nowrap
This is the {{nowrap}} template.
This template prevents word wraps (line breaks) in text and links that contain spaces.
Before you use this template you might want to read up on Wikipedia:Line-break handling.
Usage[edit]
Lots of text {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} more text.
It may render like this:
- Lots of text 10 kg (22 lb)
- more text.
Or like this:
- Lots of text
- 10 kg (22 lb) more text.
But it will not render like this:
- Lots of text 10 kg (22
- lb) more text.
Handling interpreted characters[edit]
Templates have problems to handle parameter data that contains equal signs "=" or vertical bars "|". But there are also workarounds:
For text that includes an equal sign "=", precede the text with 1=. For example:
{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}
Which renders this:
- 2 + 2 = 4
For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with | or {{!}}. For instance like this:
{{nowrap||2| < 3}}
Or like this:
{{nowrap|{{!}}2{{!}} < 3}}
Which renders this:
- |2| < 3
Technical details[edit]
The actual code that does the job is this HTML+CSS code:
<span style="white-space:nowrap">This text will not wrap</span>
Spaces at the beginning or end of your text will fall outside the no-wrap tag in the rendered text due to Wikimedia rendering mechanisms.
