Template:-/doc

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

Note: {{Clear}} does the exact same thing and this template should only be used if {{Clear}} does not work where it needs to be placed in the wikitext.

Use {{-}} after any floating elements and before elements you do not wish to float together with the first set.

Details

{{-}} contains the markup:

<br clear="all" />

This causes any previously-established float to clear.

The unusual name of this template is a mnemonic for an imaginary horizontal line, which separates floating elements above from those below. Some editors prefer the mnemonic {{clr}} ("clear"), which simply redirects here.

Example

Template:Wrapper (edit talk links history)

starts a table floating right e.g. for an infobox next to the ToC. For better examples check out the links. Please add missing {{-}} where necessary.   This ugly table is only a quick example.

First

• Cute, but less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.

In the first example {{-}} after the word browser guarantees that the table doesn't float into the second example. In the second example the position of {{-}} is after the word but. Note that it doesn't affect the left margin of the bullet * list, because it's used inside of it.
