This is a documentation subpage for Template:Nowrap (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{nowrap}} template.
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 {{nowrap|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 consider using {{nowrap begin}} + {{nowrap end}} instead. But there are also workarounds:
For text that includes an equal sign "=", precede the text with 1=
. For example:
{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}
Which renders this:
- 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 this:
- |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.
{{nobr}} and {{nobreak}} redirect here.
