Shablono:Nowrap/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Shablono:Nowrap.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original shablono page.

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

Usage

{{nowrap|these words stay together}}

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

{{nowrap| merry-go-round }}

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

{{nowrap| [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] }}

{{nowrap| [[#Examples|Examples section]] }}

The template names {{j}} ("join"), {{nobr}} and {{nobreak}} redirect here (Template:Nowrap), so may be used instead of "Shablono:Tc".

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.

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 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 1=, use a triple-brace unnamed parameter {{{|=}}}, or the {{=}} template. For example:

{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}},
{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}, or
{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}

which all render as this:

2 + 2 = 4.

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "|" or "{{pipe}}" or "{{abs}}". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:

{{nowrap||6| < 7}} or {{nowrap|{{pipe}}6{{pipe}} < 7}} or {{nowrap|{{abs|6}} < 7}}

Which renders this:

|6| < 7

Technical details

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

<span class="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 due to Wikimedia rendering mechanisms.

The templates {{j}}, {{nobr}} and {{nobreak}} redirect here.
