<br />
== Description ==<br />
It is used to position text or elements to the rightmost/leftmost of a page/area, without changing the alignment or formatting of other text and elements nearby.<br />
<br />
For aligning text in general, see {{tl|align}}. For floating images, boxes, and other elements, see {{tl|stack}}.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
These are the standard usage: <br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float|</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code> floats {{smallcaps|item}} on the rightmost of a page/area.<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float|left|</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code> floats {{smallcaps|item}} on the leftmost of a page/area.<br />
<br />
More configuration: <br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float |width= |height= |top= |right= |bottom= |left= |</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code><br />
<br />
<code>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}</code> is required. You must specify what text or element to float or it will throw an error. <br />
<br />
All parameters are optional. The parameters {{para|width}} and {{para|height}} are to indicate the width/height of the <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> element. <!--Unnecessary?: Note that if any values other than zero for ''top'' and ''right'' are required, they need to be specified.--><br />
<br />
The optional parameters {{para|top}}, {{para|right}}, {{para|bottom}} and {{para|left}} are to indicate how far from their respective positions the item is to be positioned. <br />
<br />
Any established HTML/CSS units may be used, for example, <code><nowiki>{{float |top=2.0em |left=2px |width=10em | the content to float}}</nowiki></code>. <br />
<br />
=== Beware ===<br />
Beware when using this template in navboxes. Please ensure whatever it floats (e.g. an image) does not float over other elements or text, even after the navbox is resized. <br />
<br />
To align centered lists in a navbox with an image, see the [[#Alternatives for navigational boxes|alternatives for navigational boxes]] section below. <br />
