Ta̱mpi̱let:Float
Description
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]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.
For aligning text in general, see {{align}}. For floating images, boxes, and other elements, see {{stack}}.
Usage
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]These are the standard usage:
{{float|Ta̱mpi̱let:Bigger}}floats Ta̱mpi̱let:Smallcaps on the rightmost of a page/area.{{float|left|Ta̱mpi̱let:Bigger}}floats Ta̱mpi̱let:Smallcaps on the leftmost of a page/area.
More configuration:
{{float |width= |height= |top= |right= |bottom= |left= |Ta̱mpi̱let:Bigger}}
Ta̱mpi̱let:Bigger is required. You must specify what text or element to float or it will throw an error.
All parameters are optional. The parameters |width= and |height= are to indicate the width/height of the <div> element.
The optional parameters |top=, |right=, |bottom= and |left= are to indicate how far from their respective positions the item is to be positioned.
Any established HTML/CSS units may be used, for example, {{float |top=2.0em |left=2px |width=10em | the content to float}}.
Beware
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]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.
To align centered lists in a navbox with an image, see the alternatives for navigational boxes section below.
Examples
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]Note how the links in the second two examples are centered relative to the whole template, unlike those in the first example.
Example 1 (without float)
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]This is a navbox using its image parameter:
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = [[Imperial Japanese Navy]]
| listclass = hlist
| image = [[File:Naval Ensign of Japan.svg|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]
| list1 =
* [[Imperial Japanese Navy admirals|Admirals]]
* [[Battles of the Imperial Japanese Navy|Battles]]
* [[List of ships of the Japanese Navy|Ships]]
* [[List of aircraft of the Japanese Navy|Aircraft]]
* [[List of weapons of the Japanese Navy|Weapons]]
}}
Example 2 (with float)
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]We use {{float}} instead of the navbox's image parameter:
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = [[Imperial Japanese Navy]]
| listclass = hlist
| list1 = {{float|[[File:Naval Ensign of Japan.svg|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]}}
* [[Imperial Japanese Navy admirals|Admirals]]
* [[Battles of the Imperial Japanese Navy|Battles]]
* [[List of ships of the Japanese Navy|Ships]]
* [[List of aircraft of the Japanese Navy|Aircraft]]
* [[List of weapons of the Japanese Navy|Weapons]]
}}
Example 3 (with float and custom values)
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]We use {{float}} with a custom value of |top= this time:
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = [[Imperial Japanese Navy]]
| listclass = hlist
| list1 = {{float|top=0.5em|[[File:Naval Ensign of Japan.svg|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]}}
* [[Imperial Japanese Navy admirals|Admirals]]
* [[Battles of the Imperial Japanese Navy|Battles]]
* [[List of ships of the Japanese Navy|Ships]]
* [[List of aircraft of the Japanese Navy|Aircraft]]
* [[List of weapons of the Japanese Navy|Weapons]]
}}
Alternatives for navigational boxes
[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]We use its image parameter and liststyle with padding-left set to the image width:
{{Navbox
| name = Float/doc
| state = uncollapsed
| title = [[Imperial Japanese Navy]]
| listclass = hlist
| image = [[File:Naval Ensign of Japan.svg|24px|border|Naval Ensign of Japan]]
| liststyle = padding-left: 24px
| list1 =
* [[Imperial Japanese Navy admirals|Admirals]]
* [[Battles of the Imperial Japanese Navy|Battles]]
* [[List of ships of the Japanese Navy|Ships]]
* [[List of aircraft of the Japanese Navy|Aircraft]]
* [[List of weapons of the Japanese Navy|Weapons]]
