{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Template shortcuts |nbnd|nbndash}}

This template inserts the code {{code|&zwj;&ndash;&zwj;}}, producing a {{unichar|2013|nlink=|html=}} with a {{unichar|200D|nlink=|html=}} on each of its sides. This prevents line break at the endash.

== Usage ==
This can be used, for example, to prevent line break as in:

{|
|- style="vertical-align: top;"
|<code>2020–2022</code>|| → ||2020–<br/>2022
|}

Using <code><nowiki>{{nbnd}}</nowiki></code> (or its aliases: <code><nowiki>{{nbndash}}</nowiki></code>,<code><nowiki>{{Non breaking en dash}}</nowiki></code>) between the years force to produce:

:<code>2020{{tlp|nbnd}}2022</code> → 2020{{nbnd}}2022
:<code>1952{{tlp|nbndash}}1960</code> → 1952{{nbndash}}1960
:<code>1860{{tlp|Non breaking en dash}}1865</code> → 1860{{Non breaking en dash}}1865
