Template:Left/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Left.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{left}} encloses the input text or element code in <div> tags and left-aligns the output block.

Note

This template complies with HTML5 standards. In HTML5, the attribute align is deprecated. Instead, the template uses the CSS styling attribute style and the property:value pair text-align:left, to left-align the output. If you need to use HTML4, use the template {{left/HTML4}}.

Parameters

There is only 1 parameter, which is unnamed and required.

Syntax

The template's syntax is

• {{left|custom text/element}}

Required parameters

1

Custom text/element

The text (or other element) you wish to left-align. The parameter is unnamed, so no parameter name needs to be specified.
