Template:Clear/doc

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

{{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}}
{{Clear|left}}
{{Clear|right}}

The template should not be substituted, as the markup provided will be confusing to many editors, and this template provides documentation for itself, there is little justification for substitution.
