Thread:Extension talk:Semantic Rating/Preventing a newline with each rating

I'm trying to add some text followed by the semantic rating stars. I would like the text and the stars to be on the same line. However it seems that using #rating creates a new line. For example if I add this to a page: semantic rating:

Upon saving it I see:

semantic rating:

*****

Is there a way to instead display:

semantic rating: ***** ?

I realize a table could help, for example this achieves what I am asking: However I am using #rating in a #loop and the table solution isn't working there. Is there a more direct way to prevent a newline with each call to #rating?

Again, I apologize if this is a generic mediawiki question, I'm still learning. I greatly appreciate all the help!
