Template:Clear

Template documentation

This template adds <div style="clear:both;"></div>; for technical XHTML details, see Template talk:Clear.

Documentation

{{clear}}: Makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. Often used to stop text from flowing next to unrelated images.

Usage

{{Clear}}

The template may also be substituted, but as the markup provided will be confusing to many editors, and this template provides documentation for itself, there is little justification for substitution.

Example without the {{clear}} template

200px
