This is the {{nowrap}} template.
This template prevents word wraps (line breaks) in text with spaces in.
For link lists and other complex cases instead consider using {{nowraplinks}} or {{nowrap begin}}.
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||2| < 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 due to Wikimedia rendering mechanisms.
