This template prevents line breaks during HTML mathematics. It is a practical alternative to excessive use of [[non-breaking space]]s (&nbsp;). |
|||
==Use== |
|||
In a math article, included math such as |
|||
<pre>''f'': ''X'' × ''Y'' → [0, 1]</pre> |
|||
may end up broken between lines. This can be fixed using nonbreaking spaces: |
|||
<pre>''f'':&nbsp;''X''&nbsp;×&nbsp;''Y''&nbsp;→&nbsp;[0,&nbsp;1]</pre> |
|||
However, this results in cumbersome source code which can be difficult to edit. Using this template, the same result can be achieved with: |
|||
<pre>{{mbox| ''f'': ''X'' × ''Y'' → [0, 1]}}</pre> |
|||
===Dealing with equations=== |
|||
Because of Wikipedia limitations on templates, mbox doesn't function as stated above if the math contains an equals sign. In this case, the following syntax should be used: |
|||
<pre>{{mbox|= 2''x'' + 3''y'' + 5''z'' = 7}}</pre> |
|||
Using |= instead of | also works for non-equations. |
