Template:Block left
{{{1}}}
 | This template uses block elements, e.g. This template applies the class .wst-block-left, which can be targeted with a work's index styles.css using page styles. See H:DIVSPAN for details. |
Lua error: bad argument #1 to "get" (not a valid title).
Usage
This template places a block of text in the left of the page, without affecting the text alignment within that block.
- Comparison of {{Block left}} and {{left}}
This template retains the current text alignment (usually left), but moves the entire block of text into the left. To change to left text alignment, use {{left}} instead.
- Block left
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.
- left
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.Parameter
All parameters are optional.
|class=set block additional classes|width=set the width of the block|offset=set the distance ("indent") from the left margin|gutter=set the gap between the normal content and the block|align=set the internal alignment of the block|style=add other kinds of style|body=or|1=content of the block
Width
Where there is a requirement to fix the width of the block, an optional |width= parameter can be used. When the content is text, prefer text-relative units like em to absolute units like px.[1]
Example
{{block left|width=25em|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.<br/>
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.}}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.
Align
To align the content of the left-aligned block within the block, an optional |align= parameter may be used:
Example
{{block left|align=center|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.<br/>
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.}}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.
Aenean massa.
