Template:Clear/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Clear (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.
