Editing Template:Nowraplinks/doc (section)

=== Advanced usage ===

Most of the functionality in this template is implemented as a CSS class in [[MediaWiki:Common.css|common.css]]. That class can be used together with pretty much any HTML tag or any box to prevent links to word wrap. For instance like this:
:<code><nowiki><div class="nowraplinks"> Lots of text and links </div></nowiki></code>
Or like this:
:<code><nowiki><span class="nowraplinks"> Lots of text and links </span></nowiki></code>

If the nowraplinks class is applied in the header of a table it will prevent line wrapping of links in ''all'' cells in the table. Note that in a table header there usually is a need to apply several classes. Then the class names should be separated by spaces in the class tag, not by commas or semicolons. Like this:

<pre><nowiki>
{| class="wikitable nowraplinks"
|
[[This link will not wrap]]{{·}} 
[[This link also won't wrap]]{{·}} 
[[And so on]]{{·}} 
But this sentence might word wrap.
|
[[This link will not wrap]]{{·}} 
[[This link also won't wrap]]{{·}} 
[[And so on]]{{·}} 
But this sentence might word wrap.
|}
</nowiki></pre>

It will render this:

{| class="wikitable nowraplinks"
|-
|
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|This link will not wrap]]{{·}} 
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|This link also won't wrap]]{{·}} 
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|And so on]]{{·}} 
But this sentence might word wrap.
|
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|This link will not wrap]]{{·}} 
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|This link also won't wrap]]{{·}} 
[[Template:Nowraplinks end|And so on]]{{·}} 
But this sentence might word wrap.
|}

To really see the nowrap effect on the links above you can drag the width of your web browser window so it becomes smaller and smaller.
