The {} template uses HTML, and will size-match a serif font, and will also prevent line-wrap. All templates are sensitive to the = sign, so remember to replace = with {} in template input, or start the input with 1=. Use wiki markup '' and ''' inside the {} template, as well as other HTML entities.
