𐍆𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌰𐌼𐌴𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃:Nowrap

{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 en:Wikipedia:Line-break handling.

{Nowrap|these words stay together}

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

{Nowrap| merry-go-round }

{Nowrap| [[:en:4-part harmony]] }

{Nowrap| [[:en:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] }

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

The template names {Nobr} and {Nobreak} are redirects that may be used instead of "{ Nowrap | … }".

You may also specify additional CSS styles to apply to the specified text:

{Nowrap|style=color:red|this red text renders on the same line}

This template may be used with {Wbr} and {Nbsp} 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.

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|&#124;6&#124; < 7}  or  {Nowrap|{Pipe}6{Pipe} < 7}  or  {nowrap|{Abs|6} < 7}

which renders this:

|6| < 7

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.

• {Nowraplinks}...{Nowraplinks end} prevents wraps inside links while allowing wraps between links and in normal text. Very useful for link lists and easy to use.
• {Nowrap begin}...{Nowrap end} prevents wraps in both text and links. For the trickier wrapping cases when you need full control, for instance in very complex link lists.
• {Spaces} to produce multiple non-breaking spaces (or a single one).
• en:Wikipedia:Line-break handling, the how-to guide about word/line-wrapping/breaks at Wikipedia.
  • In particular, to avoid line wrapping when quoting a passage such as a poem or computer code, see {Quote#Line breaks} - e.g. Template:Blockquote with "poem" tag.
