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

| "<code>He encountered {{tlc|Nowrap|a tiger}} in the woods.</code>"
<br/> May render like this:
:He encountered a&nbsp;tiger <br/>in the woods.
<br/> Or like this:
:He encountered <br/>a tiger in the woods.
<br/> But ''not'' like this:
:He encountered a <br/>tiger in the woods.
|}

=== Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes ===
This template may be used with {{tlx|Wbr}} and {{tlx|Spaces}} 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.

=== 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). Note that this does not apply if the equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>" is inside a wikilink or another template. In the case that there is a bare equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>", consider using {{tl|Nowrap begin}} + {{tl|Nowrap end}} instead. However, there are also other workarounds:

For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code>, use a triple-brace unnamed parameter <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{{|=}}}</syntaxhighlight>, or the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{=}}</syntaxhighlight> magic word. For example:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}</syntaxhighlight>, <br /><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}</syntaxhighlight>, or <br /><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}</syntaxhighlight>

which all render as this:
:{{Nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}.

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>&#124;</syntaxhighlight>" or "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{pipe}}</syntaxhighlight>" or "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{abs}}</syntaxhighlight>". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|&#124;6&#124; < 7}}</syntaxhighlight> &nbsp;or&nbsp; <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|{{pipe}}6{{pipe}} < 7}}</syntaxhighlight> &nbsp;or&nbsp; <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Nowrap|{{abs|6}} < 7}}</syntaxhighlight>

Which renders this: 
:{{Nowrap|&#124;6&#124; < 7}}
