A template used to insert one or more non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) to prevent automatic line breaks at specific points in the text. This is useful for keeping elements such as numbers and units together.

Usage

Syntax

Template:Larger produces N consecutive non-breaking spaces (where N is a whole number larger than zero) of the type specified by the second parameter (which are ordered by decreasing space width): em, fig, en, thin, hair. If type is not specified, N non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) are produced. A non-breaking space has the same width as a standard space, whose width is between the width of en and thin.

Template:Larger produces a single non-breaking space of the type indicated.

Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes

This template, usually as its alias Template:Tlx, may be used with Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx 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.
