Why don't you use <br clear="all">? ~iNVERTED | Rob (Talk | Contribs) 17:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Because MediaWiki's software often encapsulates that into an (otherwise empty) paragraph. Often there's nothing that can be done about that and it tends to look ugly. Also, a paragraph should be exactly that: a paragraph. Shinobu 17:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A similar problem
Please have a look at wikt:Dervish#English. The Commons template overlaps with the translations table. Any suggestions? Wikipeditor 23:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Same at zh:陰城郡, if viewed at large font sizes.
- Somewhat fixed them. (I simply moved them up in the code) However, I do find these [edit] links very misplaced. --Sébastien Leblanc ( Talk | E-mail ) 20:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] <div style="clear:both;"></div> and <br clear="all"/>
What is the difference between <div style="clear:both;"></div> and <br clear="all"/>? -PatPeter 19:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Look at top of this page for the explanation. -- drini [meta:] [commons:] 01:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Don't subst
I think this template should not be substituted into articles. Many editors won't understand the purpose of the resulting HTML, however if they see a template they can find out what is used for. -- Patleahy (talk) 19:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] empty div syntax
Is there any reason why it is not <div style="clear:both;"/>? This would require less bandwidth and not require the browser to set up a CDATA in the DOM that turns out to be empty. John Vandenberg 01:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Because some browsers don't recognize XHTML-style self-closing tags, so that would result in those browsers seeing a never-closed div. Even modern browsers can do this in some circumstances. Anomie 17:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Does anyone actually look at the result?
So someone developed another "cool" program. But the resulting page layouts look like a third-grader did them. There is no style, no artistic merit. Sometimes programmers need to have their computers disabled so that people who know what a page layout is actually supposed to look like can do a good job. "Clear" wiki is a miserable "tool". It's like using a hammer to put a staple in your term paper. And to answer your question, NO, It doesn't look better. (Taivo (talk) 11:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC))
