Including WP:Route diagram template‎ in map parameter

There are reports that route map using WP:Route diagram template‎ included in the infobox "breaks apart" in browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer like the left one. This issue doesn't exist under browser like Firefox or Opera by their default font preferences.

breaking rows	fixed
Infobox rail line Route map Hoboken Christopher Street 9th Street 14th Street 23rd Street 33rd Street NOTE: Service route denoted in dark red	Infobox rail line Route map Hoboken Christopher Street 9th Street 14th Street 23rd Street 33rd Street NOTE: Service route denoted in dark red

To solve this row breaking issue, use template {{infobox rdt}} like this:

map = {{Infobox rdt|ROUTE DIAGRAM TEMPLATE NAME}}

If some of the row (not entirely) still breaks, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to‎ return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto will solve this problem.
