This template prevents line breaks during HTML mathematics.  It is a practical alternative to excessive use of [[non-breaking space]]s (&#38;nbsp;).
+
  | demospace = {{{demospace|}}}
 
+
  | main      = ambox
==Use==
+
  | talk      = tmbox
In a math article, included math such as
+
  | file      = imbox
<pre>''f'': ''X'' × ''Y'' → [0, 1]</pre>
+
  | category  = cmbox
may end up broken between lines.  This can be fixed using nonbreaking spaces:
+
  | other    = ombox
<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:
+
| type      = {{{type|}}}
<pre>{{mbox| ''f'': ''X'' × ''Y'' → [0, 1]}}</pre>
+
| image      = {{{image|}}}
 
+
| imageright = {{{imageright|}}}
===Dealing with equations===
+
| class      = {{{class|}}}
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:
+
| style      = {{{style|}}}
<pre>{{mbox|eq= 2''x'' + 3''y'' + 5''z'' = 7}}</pre>
+
| textstyle = {{{textstyle|}}}
This longer syntax also works for non-equations.
+
| text      = {{{text}}}
 +
| small      = {{{small|}}}
 +
| smallimage = {{{smallimage|}}}
 +
| smallimageright = {{{smallimageright|}}}
 +
| smalltext = {{{smalltext|}}}
 +
| subst      = {{{subst|}}}
 +
| date      = {{{date|}}}
