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

[edit] Documentation

{{clear}}: Makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. Often used to stop text from flowing next to unrelated images.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Example without the {{clear}} template

Template:Lorem

[edit] Example with the {{clear}} template
