Template:Nowrap/doc

This template prevents word wraps (line breaks) in text and links that contain spaces.

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

Usage
Lots of text 10 kg (22 lb) more text.

It may render like this:


 * Lots of text 10 kg (22 lb)
 * more text.

Or like this:
 * Lots of text
 * 10 kg (22 lb) more text.

But it will not render like this:
 * Lots of text 10 kg (22
 * lb) more text.

Handling interpreted characters
Templates have problems to handle parameter data that contains equal signs " " or vertical bars " ". In such cases there are some workarounds:

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

Which renders this:
 * 2 + 2 = 4

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

Or like this:

Which renders this:
 * &#124;2&#124; < 3

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



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.
