Template:Tl 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.
Usage
Examples
“They held {{Nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total.”
|
“He encountered {{Nowrap|a tiger}} in the woods.”

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. However, there are workarounds:
For text that includes an equal-sign “=”, precede the text with |1=, use the {{=}} template.
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}
|
2 + 2 = 4 |
{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}
|
2 + 2 = 4 |
For text that includes a vertical bar “|”, escape the bar(s) with | or {{!}}. For instance, put two bars |6| like this:
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
{{nowrap||6| < 7}}
|
|6| < 7 |
{{nowrap|{{!}}6{{!}} < 7}}
|
|6| < 7 |
Technical details
The actual code that does the job is this HTML 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.
