Use {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} 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 {{tl|Clear}} instead. Do not use this template to deliberately add whitespace and blank lines between non-floating elements.

== Details ==
{{tl|-}} contains the markup: 
<pre>
<br style="clear:both;" />
</pre>
This causes any previously established float to clear. 

Optionally, you can clear only left- or right floating elements by using <code><nowiki>{{-|left}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{-|right}}</nowiki></code>.

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 {{tl|Clr}} ("clear"), which simply redirects here. However, do not confuse {{tl|Clr}} with {{tl|Clear}}, which is a different template that uses <code><nowiki><div></div></nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> and so does not introduce an extra line break.

== Examples==
{{sidebar|navbar=off
| title = Example sidebar
| content1 = In these examples, the {{tl|sidebar}} template is used to create a simple right floating table. For better examples check out the links. Please add missing <tt><nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki></tt> where necessary. This sidebar is only a quick example.
| content2 = {{lorem}}
}}
=== First ===
In the first example <tt><nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki></tt> 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.{{-}}

| content2 = {{lorem}}
}}

=== Second ===
In the second example the position of <tt><nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki></tt> is after the word ''but''. Note that it does not affect the 
left margin of the bullet {{b|*}} list, because it is used inside of it.
