[edit] Dcumentation

{{wrapper}} contains - or contained, check the source - the Wiki markup:

{| style="float: right; clear: right; background: none; border: none;" align="right"

See swastika for possible usage. With wrappers, images and infoboxes can be aligned at the right side of the screen without being moved due to different resolutions and skin settings. Don't forget to close the table with |}.

[edit] Not so great...

This template improperly utilizes a table, and does so while making very odd wiki-table markup. ¦ Reisio 02:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Table layout is admittedly a kludge, I've added examples limiting undesirable side-effects in Template talk:-. Omniplex  02:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just curious...

...as to why this template has the name "Wrapper"...?  (Sorry if I'm missing something obvious!)  David Kernow (talk) 15:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How is this useful?

  • {| style="float:right" is only slightly longer and makes much more sense.
  • "Wrapper" is a terrible name for a right-floating table.
  • The example misuses tables. Tables are meant to contain tabular data. Other structural elements exist which should be used to display images in a column, like div.   –Justin Force 16:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
