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

{{Nowrap}} or {{nowrap}} 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.

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]] }}

Examples
