Template:Nowrap/doc

or stops wrapping of specific text (which can be inside of a link). Use this template sparingly. It prevents word wraps (line breaks) that might otherwise happen at 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, you can use. For more information about wrapping and breaking sentences, see Wikicryptos:Line-break handling.

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

Handling equal-sign or bar
Templates have problems with parameter data that contains Wikicryptos: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 +  instead. However, there are also other workarounds:

For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with, use a triple-brace unnamed parameter  , or the   template. For example: , or

which all render as this:
 * 2 + 2 = 4.

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

Which renders this:
 * &#124;6&#124; < 7

Technical details
The actual code that does the job is this HTML tag that applies a class to the text inside the template:



The class  receives the CSS property   in MediaWiki:Common.css.
