Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Nowrap/doc. (edit | history)

{{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.

Usage

{{nowrap|these words stay together}}

{{nowrap|a, b, c, or d.}}

{{nowrap| merry-go-round }}

{{nowrap| [[4-part harmony]] }}

Examples

"They held {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total." May render like this: They held 10 kg (22 lb) in total. Or like this: They held 10 kg (22 lb) in total. But not render like this: They held 10 kg (22 lb) in total.

"He encountered {{nowrap|a tiger}} in the woods." May render like this: He encountered a tiger in the woods. Or like this: He encountered a tiger in the woods. But not like this: He encountered a tiger in the woods.

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.
