Template:Clear

This template inserts a <div style="clear:both;"></div> block wherever it's placed. This prevents all text below the template from wrapping and forces it to display entirely after any images above the template. This can be used to stop text from flowing next to unrelated images, or to keep page formatting clean at resolutions different than what the article was written for.

Usage instructions

To use this template, add the tag {{clear}} prior to the text intended to clear.

Optionally, a parameter can be added and set to either left or right to only have it clear that side, inserting a <div style="clear:left;"></div> or <div style="clear:right;"></div> block respectively.

To use this template in this way, add the tag {{clear|left}} to clear the left side, or {{clear|right}} to clear the right side.

Example without {{clear}}

Example image

This paragraph is an example paragraph that is not long enough to extend to the bottom of the example image to its left. This will result in the section immediately following this paragraph to display next to the image, despite not being related to the image.

Two images!
