{{tlx|Nowrap}} 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 [[Wikipedia:Line break handling]].

===Usage===
:: {{nowrap|these words stay together}}
:: {{nowrap|a, b, c, or d.}}
:: {{nowrap| merry-go-round }}
:: <nowiki>{{nowrap| [[4-part harmony]] }}</nowiki>

The template names {{[[Template:j|'''j''']]}} (join) or {{[[Template:nobr|nobr]]}} or {{[[Template:Nobreak|nobreak]]}} may be used instead of "nowrap", as they are redirects to {{nowrap}}.

=== Examples ===
{| class=wikitable
|"They held <nowiki>{{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}}</nowiki> in total."
 May render like this:
:They held {{nowrap|10 kg (22 lb)}} in total.
 Or like this:
:They held 10 kg (22 lb) in total.
 But ''not'' render like this:
:They held 10 kg (22 lb) in total.

| "He encountered <nowiki>{{nowrap|a tiger}}</nowiki> in the woods."
 May render like this:
:He encountered a tiger in the woods.
 Or like this:
:He encountered a tiger in the woods.
 But ''not'' like this:
:He encountered a tiger in the woods.
|}

=== Handling equal-sign or bar ===
[[Help:Template|Templates]] have problems with parameter data that contains [[equal-sign]]s "<code>=</code>" or vertical bars "<code>|</code>" (pipes). In such cases, consider using {{tl|nowrap begin}} + {{tl|nowrap end}} instead. But there are also other workarounds:

For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code> or use a triple-brace unnamed parameter: <nowiki>{{{|=}}}</nowiki>. For example:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>1=2 + 2 = 4}}</code>, or <code><nowiki>{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}</nowiki></code>

which both render as this:
:{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}.

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "<code><nowiki>&#124;</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code>". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>&#124;6&#124; < 7}}</code>  or  <code><nowiki>{{nowrap|{{!}}6{{!}} < 7}}</nowiki></code>

Which renders this:
:{{nowrap||6| < 7}}

=== Technical details ===
The actual code that does the job is this HTML+CSS code:

:<code><nowiki>This text will not wrap</nowiki></code>

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.

The templates {{[[Template:j|j]]}}, {{[[Template:nobr|nobr]]}} and {{[[Template:Nobreak|nobreak]]}} redirect here.

=== See also ===
* {{tl|nowraplinks}} – Prevents wraps inside links and only allows wraps between the links and in normal text. Very useful for link lists and easy to use.
* {{tl|nowrap 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.
* [[Wikipedia:Line break handling]] – The how-to guide detailing how to handle word wraps (line breaks) on Wikipedia.
