{{tlx|Nowrap}} or {{tlx|nowrap}} stops wrapping of specific text. Use this template '''sparingly'''. It prevents word wraps (line breaks) within text or inside a link which contains spaces, hyphens ("-"), or, in some browsers, parentheses. The size of the nowrapped text becomes the minimum width of that paragraph and that can negatively influence the ability of the page to adapt to smaller screens, or alternate representations of the content.
To achieve the opposite effect of <code>{{nowrap}}</code>, you can use {{tlx|wbr}}. For more information about wrapping and breaking sentences, see [[Wikipedia:Line-break handling]].
== Usage ==
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|these words stay together}}</nowiki></code>
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|a, b, c, or d.}}</nowiki></code>
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap| merry-go-round }}</nowiki></code>
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap| [[4-part harmony]] }}</nowiki></code>
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap| [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] }}</nowiki></code>
:: <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap| [[#Examples|Examples section]] }}</nowiki></code>
The template names {{tl|Nobr}} and {{tl|Nobreak}} are redirects that may be used instead of "{{tlc|Nowrap|…}}".
=== Examples ===
{| class=wikitable
|"<code>They held <nowiki>{{Nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}}</nowiki> in total.</code>"
<br/> May render like this:
:They held {{Nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} <br/>in total.
<br/> Or like this:
:They held <br/>10 kg (22 lb) in total.
<br/> But ''not'' render like this:
:They held 10 kg (22 <br/>lb) in total.
| "<code>He encountered <nowiki>{{Nowrap|a tiger}}</nowiki> in the woods.</code>"
<br/> May render like this:
:He encountered a tiger <br/>in the woods.
<br/> Or like this:
:He encountered <br/>a tiger in the woods.
<br/> But ''not'' like this:
:He encountered a <br/>tiger in the woods.
|}
=== Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes ===
This template may be used with {{tlx|Wbr}} and {{tlx|Spaces}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists in infoboxes, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See [[Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes]] for details.
=== Handling equal-sign or bar ===
[[Help:Template|Templates]] have problems with parameter data that contains [[equal-sign]]s "<code>=</code>" or vertical bars "<code>|</code>" (pipes). Note that this does not apply if the equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>" is inside a wikilink or another template. In the case that there is a bare equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>", consider using {{tl|Nowrap begin}} + {{tl|Nowrap end}} instead. However, there are also other workarounds:
For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code>, use a triple-brace unnamed parameter <code><nowiki>{{{|=}}}</nowiki></code>, or the <code><nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki></code> template. For example:
:<code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|</nowiki>1=2 + 2 = 4}}</code>, <br /><code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}</nowiki></code>, or <br /><code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}</nowiki></code>
which all render as this:
:{{Nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}.
For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "<code><nowiki>&#124;</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{pipe}}</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{abs}}</nowiki></code>". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
:<code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|</nowiki>&#124;6&#124; < 7}}</code> or <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|{{pipe}}6{{pipe}} < 7}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Nowrap|{{abs|6}} < 7}}</nowiki></code>
Which renders this:
:{{Nowrap||6| < 7}}
== Technical details ==
The actual code that does the job is this [[HTML]] span tag that applies a class to the text inside the template:
:{{code|lang=html|1=<span class="nowrap">This text will not wrap</span>}}
The class <code>nowrap</code> receives the CSS property {{code|lang=css|white-space: nowrap;}} in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].
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.
The templates {{tl|nobr}} and {{tl|nobreak}} redirect here.
