Template:-

This is a documentation subpage for Template:-.
It contains usage information, categories and other informational content that is best arranged so that it is not part of the original template page, such as in many cases, examples of how to use the template in question. Documentation subpages were developed to reduce server demands, or to protect the code version of widely used templates.

Use {{-}} after any floating elements and before elements you do not wish to float together with the first set. This uses a line break, which may introduce an ugly extra blank line. If you want to avoid that, use {{Clear}} instead. Do not use this template to deliberately add whitespace and blank lines between non-floating elements.

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.

TemplateData

<TemplateData> {

       "description": "This template adds the HTML tag 'clear:both' to the page, which clear any previously defined floats. This template has no parameters",
       "params": {}

} </TemplateData>

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
