Template:Nowrap/doc
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Usage
{{nowrap}} prevents word-wrapping, i.e. line breaks, within text or inside a link which contains spaces or hyphens.
- Nota bene
The length of the non-wrapped text becomes the minimum width of that paragraph, and doesn't adjust to different browser window sizes. Hence, a non-wrapped text will continue to the right (or to the left, if rtl) when the window edge is reached, and make the browser show a horizontal scrollbar (and also create a lot of unused space). Before you use this template, you should consider how the non-wrapped text may affect other elements on the page, and how it may affect the accessibility for your readers.
If you have a very long text string that need to be non-wrapped, consider rephrasing it and dividing it into parts before you apply this template.

Examples
| Case | What you type | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| Basic use | This text will not wrap}} | This text will not wrap |
| Wiki markup | You '''can''' ''use'' <u>wiki</u> {{sup|markup}}}} | You can use wiki markup |
Inadvisable use
As mentioned above, very long text strings will cause dispositional issues, and make the page as a whole less accessible.
