{{Notice |Take care when using this template in navboxes to ensure that whatever it is used to float (e.g. an image) does not float over other elements or text if{{\}}when the navbox is resized. To align centered lists in a navbox with an image, see the [[#Alternatives for navigational boxes|alternatives for navigational boxes]] section below. For aligning text in general, see {{tl|align}}. For floating images, boxes, and other elements, see {{tl|stack}}.}}<br />
<br />
Use {{tl|float}} to "float" items{{spaced ndash}}i.e. position them{{spaced ndash}}so they do not affect the alignment or formatting of other items (such as text) nearby.<br />
<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float|</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code> floats {{smallcaps|item}} on the righthand edge of a page/area.<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float|left|</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code> floats {{smallcaps|item}} on the lefthand edge of a page/area.<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{float |top= |right= |bottom= |left= |width= |</nowiki>{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}}</code><br />
<br />
{{para||{{bigger|{{smallcaps|item}}}}}} is the only required parameter. The optional parameters ''top'', ''right'', ''bottom'' and ''left'' indicate how far from their respective positions the item is to be positioned. The ''width'' of the item may also be specified. Any established HTML/CSS units may be used so long as they are specified (for example, <code><nowiki>{{float |top=2.0em |left=2px |width=10em |Blah}}</nowiki></code>). <!--Unnecessary?: Note that if any values other than zero for ''top'' and ''right'' are required, they need to be specified.--><br />

===Examples===<br />
Note how the links in the second two examples are centered relative to the whole template, unlike those in the first example.<br />
<br />
; Example 1<br />
One-line [[Template:Navbox|navbox]] using its image parameter:<br />
