Template:Nowrap/doc

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 Line break handling.

Usage


The template names (join) or  or  may be used instead of "nowrap", as they are redirects to.

Handling equal-sign or bar
Templates have problems with parameter data that contains equal-signs " " or vertical bars " " (pipes). Note that this does not apply if the equal-sign " " or vertical bar " " is inside a wikilink, a URL link, or another template. In the case that there is a bare equal-sign " " or vertical bar " ", consider using nowrap begin + nowrap end instead. However, there are also other workarounds:

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

which all 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:
 * or

Which renders this:
 * &#124;6&#124; < 7

Technical details
The actual code that does the job is this HTML+CSS code:



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.
