Details
{{-}} contains the markup:
<br style="clear:both;" />
This causes any previously established float to clear.
Optionally, you can clear only left- or right floating elements by using {{-|left}}
or {{-|right}}
.
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. However, do not confuse {{Clr}} with {{Clear}}, which is a different template that uses <div></div>
instead of <br />
and so does not introduce an extra line break.
Examples
First
In the first example {{-}} after the word browser guarantees that the table does not float into the second example.
- Cute, but less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.
Second
In the second example the position of {{-}} is after the word but. Note that it does not affect the left margin of the bullet * list, because it is used inside of it.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.
Third
The third example has a new line after the word but and {{-}} after the word browser.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.
Template:Sidebar
Fourth
The fourth example has {{-}} and a new line after the word but.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.
