This template makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. It is often used to prevent text from flowing next to unrelated images.


===Usage===
== Usage ==
<nowiki>{{subst:Clear}}</nowiki>
* {{tlx|clear}} — adds <code>&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code>
* {{tlx|clear|left}} — adds <code>&lt;div style="clear:left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code>
* {{tlx|clear|right}} — adds <code>&lt;div style="clear:right;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code>


The template may also be transcluded, but as the markup provided is unlikely to change or improve,there is little justification for transclusion overhead.
== Examples ==


== Example without the {clear} template==
<div style="border: 1px solid black; background: #fde; padding: 1em; margin: 2em;">
[[Image:HeidelbergTun.jpg|200px|left]]
=== Example without {{tl|clear}} ===
{{lorem}}
[[File:HeidelbergTun.jpg|200px|left]]
== New section ==
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
See how this section starts at the right of the image, with the line actually overlapping the image


<div style="clear:both;"></div> <!-- a genuine use of the template! -->
==== New section without template ====
== Example with the {clear} template ==
Without {{tl|clear}}, this section starts at the right of the image.
[[Image:HeidelbergTun.jpg|200px|left]]
{{clear}}
{{lorem}}
</div>
'''<nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>'''
<div style="border: 1px solid black; background: #fde; padding: 1em; margin: 2em;">
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
== New section ==
See how this looks much better?


== How it works ==
=== Example that uses {{tl|clear}} ===
This is what {{Tl|clear}} actually does, ignore the <tt>&lt;noinclude&gt;</tt> stuff shown by <nowiki>{{msgnw:clear}}</nowiki>:
[[File:HeidelbergTun.jpg|200px|left]]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet<br/>
'''{{tl|clear}}'''
{{clear}}


<tt>{{msgnw:clear}}</tt>
==== New section with template ====
{{tl|clear}} placed before this section, so it appears below the image.
</div>

Description

This template makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. It is often used to prevent text from flowing next to unrelated images.

Usage

  • {{clear}} — adds <div style="clear:both;"></div>
  • {{clear|left}} — adds <div style="clear:left;"></div>
  • {{clear|right}} — adds <div style="clear:right;"></div>

Examples

Example without {{clear}}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

New section without template

Without {{clear}}, this section starts at the right of the image.

Example that uses {{clear}}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
{{clear}}

New section with template

{{clear}} placed before this section, so it appears below the image.
