I am requesting that this template be updated to allow the option of using a non-breaking space between the number and the text (in place of the current breaking space). The updated code can be found in Template:Plural/sandbox. The following shows an example of how it would work (the output was placed inside a narrow <div> to force a line break).
| Example | Current output | Sandbox output |
|---|---|---|
Non-breaking space: {{plural|20|year|nb=y}}
|
20 years
|
20 years
|
Breaking space (default): {{plural|20|year}}
|
20 years
|
20 years
|
Additional examples can be found at Template:Plural/testcases. -- Zyxw (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Done Except I used {{yesno}} so {{plural|20|year|nb=no}}will do what the user probably expects. Anomie⚔ 02:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
