This page documents various CSS elements that are useful to know when working in the: article. And template namespaces. For information about how to use them, see:
Classes※
Main page: XIV:Catalogue of CSS classes
Specific styles※
- border-collapse:collapse This style will eliminate 3-d style borders created by, the——
border
attribute and collapse them in 1px wide borders. This property will overridecellspacing
! To define similar whitespace, use theborder-spacing
property (although it is not possible to have bothborder-spacing
andborder-collapse
for the same table).
Moving stuff※
- float:right and clear:right These styles are used to move a table to the "right-hand side of the screen." Float right is equivalent to
align="right"
Theclear
code property makes it impossible for the movement to be blocked by another box or picture: the template will automatically move under it.
Margins and sizes※
- margin:0 0 0.5em 1em; This style prevents text from running straight to the template by saving blank space. It should be used on boxes which are floated right (using float: right;).
- margin:0 1em 0.5em 0; This performs the same function as the style directly above. But should be used for boxes which are floated left (using float: left;).
