Vorlage:Float/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Vorlage:Float. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original vorlage page. |
 | Take care when using this template in navboxes to ensure that whatever it is used to float (e.g. an image) does not float over other elements or text if/when the navbox is resized. To align centered lists in a navbox with an image, see the alternatives for navigational boxes section below. For aligning text in general, see {{align}}. For floating images, boxes, and other elements, see {{stack}}. |
Use {{float}} to "float" items - i.e. position them - so they do not affect the alignment or formatting of other items (such as text) nearby.
{{float|item}}floats item on the righthand edge of a page/area.{{float|left|item}}floats item on the lefthand edge of a page/area.{{float |top= |right= |bottom= |left= |width= |item}}
|item is the only required parameter. The optional parameters top, right, bottom and left indicate how far from their respective positions the item is to be positioned. The width of the item may also be specified. Any established HTML/CSS units may be used so long as they are specified (for example, {{float |top=2.0em |left=2px |width=10em |Blah}}).
Examples
Note how the links in the second two examples are centered relative to the whole template, unlike those in the first example.
- Example 1
One-line navbox using its image parameter:
| ||||||
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = Title for box
| listclass = hlist
| list1 = {{float|top=-0.1em|[[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]}}
* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
* Bullet 3
* Bullet 4
* Bullet 5
}}
- Example 2
Same navbox using {{float}} instead of the image parameter:
| ||||||
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = Title for box
| listclass = hlist
| list1 = {{float|top=-0.1em|[[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]}}
* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
* Bullet 3
* Bullet 4
* Bullet 5
}}
Same navbox using its image parameter and liststyle with padding-left set to the image width:
| ||||||
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = Title for box
| listclass = hlist
| list1 = {{float|top=-0.1em|[[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]}}
* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
* Bullet 3
* Bullet 4
* Bullet 5
}}
