We'll be deploying 1.43 to ShoutWiki sites this weekend. Staff will be working all weekend to deal with any unforeseen bugs that crop up.
CreateWiki will not be available immediately after the upgrade; however, we expect the rewrite to be completed during this release cycle.
Template:Nobr/doc
|
|
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Nobr. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{Nobr}} 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 Template:W.
Usage[edit source]
{{Nobr|these words stay together}}{{Nobr|a, b, c, or d.}}{{Nobr| merry-go-round }}{{Nobr| [[4-part harmony]] }}{{Nobr| [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] }}{{Nobr| [[#Examples|Examples section]] }}
Examples[edit source]
"They held {{Nobr|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total."
|
"He encountered {{Nobr|a tiger}} in the woods."

Handling equal-sign or bar[edit source]
Templates have problems with parameter data that contains Template:Ws "=" 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 {{Nobr begin}} + {{Nobr 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}},{{Nobr|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}, or{{Nobr|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}
which all render as this:
- 2 + 2 = 4.
For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "|" or "{{!}}". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
{{Nobr||6| < 7}}or{{Nobr|{{!}}6{{!}} < 7}}
Which renders this:
- |6| < 7
Technical details[edit source]
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 due to Wikimedia rendering mechanisms.

- {{Nobr begin}} – Prevents wraps in both text and links. For the trickier wrapping cases when you need full control, for instance in very complex link lists.
