=== Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists ===<br />
Template {{tlx|nbsp}} may be used with {{tlx|wbr}} and {{tlx|nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in the infobox (e.g. characters, writers, and other content marked up with {{tlx|plainlist}}), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See [[Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes]] for details.<br />
