{{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]] }}
The template names {{j}} (join) or {{nobr}} or {{nobreak}} may be used instead of "nowrap", as they are redirects to {{nowrap}}.
Examples
| "They held {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total."
|
"He encountered {{nowrap|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, consider using {{nowrap begin}} + {{nowrap end}} instead. But there are also other 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 "|" or "{{!}}". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
{{nowrap||6| < 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.
The templates {{j}}, {{nobr}} and {{nobreak}} redirect here.
