Template:Float/doc

Description
This template 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.

Whatever you float with this template will cover up anything underneath it. Text will wrap underneath this template, not around it.

For aligning text in general, see align. For floating images, boxes, and other elements in a way that text wraps around instead of beneath, see stack.

Usage
These are the standard usage:
 * floats on the rightmost of a page/area.
 * floats on the leftmost of a page/area.

More configuration:

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  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,.

Beware
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
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)
This is a navbox using its image parameter:

Example 2 (with float)
We use instead of the navbox's image parameter:

Example 3 (with float and custom values)
We use with a custom value of top this time:

Alternatives for navigational boxes
We use its image parameter and liststyle with padding-left set to the image width:
