Template:Nowrap/doc

or 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, you can use. For more information about wrapping and breaking sentences, see Wikipedia: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#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, 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
On Wikipedia, the actual code that does the job is this HTML tag that applies a class to the text inside the template:
 * This text will not wrap

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

However, custom CSS classes do not work on the Annex's MediaWiki:Common.css; therefore, this template on the Annex uses the basic
