{{tl|Nowrap}} stops wrapping of specific text. It prevents word wraps (line breaks) within text or inside a link which contains spaces or hyphens ("-"). The size of the nowrapped text becomes the minimum width of that paragraph. Before you use this template you might want to read up on [[w:Wikipedia:Line break handling]].
__NOTOC__
This is the {{tl|nowrap}} template.


This template prevents word wraps (line breaks) in text with spaces in.  
===Usage===
:: {{nowrap|these words stay together}}
:: {{nowrap|a, b, c, or d.}}
:: {{nowrap| merry-go-round }}
:: <nowiki>{{nowrap| [[4-part harmony]] }}</nowiki>


Before you use this template you might want to read up on [[Wikipedia:Line break handling]].


=== Syntax ===
=== Examples ===
{| class=wikitable
|"They held <nowiki>{{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}}</nowiki> in total."
<br>May render like this:
:They held {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}}<br>in total.
<br>Or like this:
:They held<br>10 kg (22 lb) in total.
<br>But ''not'' render like this:
:They held 10 kg (22 <br>lb) in total.


:<code><big><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>''your text''}}</big></code>
| "He encountered <nowiki>{{nowrap|a tiger}}</nowiki> in the woods."
<br>May render like this:
:He encountered a tiger<br>in the woods.
<br>Or like this:
:He encountered<br>a tiger in the woods.
<br>But ''not'' like this:
:He encountered a<br>tiger in the woods.
|}


=== Example ===
=== Handling equal-sign or bar ===
[[w:Help:Template|Templates]] have problems with parameter data that contains [[w:equal-sign|equal-sign]]s "<code>=</code>" or vertical bars "<code>|</code>" (pipes). In such cases use these workarounds:


:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|34 kg}}</nowiki></code> - Assures that the [[WP:UNITS|unit]] appears on the same line as the number.
For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code> or use a triple-brace unnamed parameter: <nowiki>{{{|=}}}</nowiki>. For example:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>1=2 + 2 = 4}}</code>, or <br /><code><nowiki>{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}</nowiki></code>


=== Handling interpreted characters ===
which both render as this:
:{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}.


For text that includes an [[equals sign]] "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code>. For example:
For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "<code><nowiki>&amp;#124;</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code>". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>1=2 + 2 = 4}}</code>
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>&amp;#124;6&amp;#124; < 7}}</code> &nbsp;or&nbsp; <code><nowiki>{{nowrap|{{!}}6{{!}} < 7}}</nowiki></code>


Which renders:

{{Nowrap}} stops wrapping of specific text. It prevents word wraps (line breaks) within text or inside a link which contains spaces or hyphens ("-"). The size of the nowrapped text becomes the minimum width of that paragraph. Before you use this template you might want to read up on w:Wikipedia:Line break handling.

Usage

{{nowrap|these words stay together}}
{{nowrap|a, b, c, or d.}}
{{nowrap| merry-go-round }}
{{nowrap| [[4-part harmony]] }}


Examples

"They held {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total."


May render like this:

They held 10 kg (22 lb)
in total.


Or like this:

They held
10 kg (22 lb) in total.


But not render like this:

They held 10 kg (22
lb) in total.
"He encountered {{nowrap|a tiger}} in the woods."


May render like this:

He encountered a tiger
in the woods.


Or like this:

He encountered
a tiger in the woods.


But not like this:

He encountered a
tiger in the woods.

Handling equal-sign or bar

Templates have problems with parameter data that contains equal-signs "=" or vertical bars "|" (pipes). In such cases use these workarounds:

For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with 1= or use a triple-brace unnamed parameter: {{{|=}}}. For example:

{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}, or
{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}

which both render as this:

2 + 2 = 4.

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "&#124;" or "{{!}}". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:

{{nowrap|&#124;6&#124; < 7}}  or  {{nowrap|{{!}}6{{!}} < 7}}

Which renders this:

|6| < 7

Technical details

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 the text will fall outside the no-wrap tag in the rendered text due to Wikimedia rendering mechanisms.
