Template:Nowordbreak/doc

[purge]

This is the documentation page, it should be transcluded into the main template page. See Template:Documentation for more information

This template will return the first n characters of a string, without breaking words. Numbers however, will be broken apart.

Note: This template requires the RegexFunctions extension and the Variables extension (whose future is uncertain).
