Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses a <span> element for formatting.
Block-based templates and paragraph breaks cannot be nested inside it.

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Float left/styles.css

Usage

This template floats text to the left without changing the alignment, and allows remaining text on page to wrap around the text.

{{float left|'''This text is floated left with no offset.'''}} This text is outside the floated span.

yields

This text is floated left with no offset. This text is outside the floated span.

Obviously the effect is not striking without an example (see below)

With margins

1st 1 The text to float to the left.
2nd 2 sets the margin (gap) to the right of the floated text to the designated measure.
3rd 3 sets the top and bottom margin of floated text to the designated measure

{{float left|'''This text is floated left, with no offset, though with an equal top and bottom margin of 4em, and a right margin of 3em.'''|3em|4em}} This text is outside the floated span.

yields

This text is floated left, with no offset, though with an equal top and bottom margin of 4em, and a right margin of 3em. This text is outside the floated span.

Either margin parameter may be used without the other:

{{float left|'''This text is also floated left, with an equal top and bottom margin of 1em but no right margin.'''||1em}} This text is outside the floated span.

yields

This text is also floated left, with an equal top and bottom margin of 1em but no right margin. This text is outside the floated span.

whereas

{{float left|'''This text is floated left with no offset and with a right margin of 18em.'''|18em}} This text is outside the floated span.

yields

This text is floated left with no offset and with a right margin of 18em. This text is outside the floated span.
