    This template prevents line breaks during HTML mathematics.  It is a practical alternative to excessive use of [[non-breaking space]]s (&#38;nbsp;).
    <!-- Categories go on the /doc subpage, and interwikis go on Wikidata. -->
     
    ==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'':&#38;nbsp;''X''&#38;nbsp;×&#38;nbsp;''Y''&#38;nbsp;→&#38;nbsp;[0,&#38;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.
