Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{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 {{Nowrap}}, you can use {{Wbr}}. For more information about wrapping and breaking sentences, see WP:Line-break handling.

Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes

This template may be used with {{Wbr}} and {{Spaces}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists in infoboxes, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Teamplaid:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

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|&#124;6&#124; < 7}}  or  {{Nowrap|{{pipe}}6{{pipe}} < 7}}  or  {{Nowrap|{{abs|6}} < 7}}

Which renders this:

|6| < 7

Mion-fhiosrachadh teicnigeach - Technical details

The actual code that does the job is this HTML <span> tag that applies a class to the text inside the template:

<span class="Nowrap">This text will not wrap</span>

The class Nowrap receives the CSS property white-space: Nowrap; in MediaWiki:Common.css.
