Template:Nowrap/doc

This is the {{nowrap}} template.

This template prevents word wraps (line breaks) in text with spaces in.

Syntax

{{nowrap|your text}}

Example

{{nowrap|34 kg}} - Assures that the unit appears on the same line as the number.

Handling interpreted characters

For text that includes an equals sign "=", precede the text with 1=. For example:

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

Which renders:

2 + 2 = 4

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with | or {{!}}. For instance like this:

{{nowrap|&#124;2&#124; < 3}}

Or like this:

{{nowrap|{{!}}2{{!}} < 3}}

Which renders:

|2| < 3

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 your text will fall outside the no-wrap tag in the rendered text for technical reasons.

• {{nowraplinks}} - Prevents wraps inside links and only allows wraps between the links and in normal text. Very useful for link lists and easy to use.
• {{nowrap begin}} - Prevents wraps in both text and links. For the really tricky wrapping cases when you need full control, for instance in very complex long link lists.
