Template:Nbwj

The non-breaking word joiner template provides a special invisible character indicating that it should not be considered an appropriate place to put a linebreak. This is useful when writing text that would normally have an unwelcome linebreak placed in it by the browser. For example here is what happens when parenthesized text is placed inside quotes and hits the end of the line:

Click on "What links here": you should see a list of pages, each one probably followed by "(transclusion)".

Note how awkward that looks with a dangling quote mark. This version uses a call to this template before the opening parenthesis:

Click on "What links here": you should see a list of pages, each one probably followed by "⁠(transclusion)".
