=== Usage ===

At its simplest:
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
{{stack|<objects>}}
</syntaxhighlight>

Alternatively, using {{tld|stack begin}} and {{tld|stack end}}:
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
{{stack begin}}
<objects>
{{stack end}}
</syntaxhighlight>

The <code><object></code> may simply be a string of wikicode for many images/templates.

==== Optional parameters ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
{{stack| <object(s)> | float=left or right | clear=true or false}}
</syntaxhighlight>
or
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
{{stack begin | float=left or right | clear=true or false}}
</syntaxhighlight>
where
*float= ''left'' or ''right'' (default is '''right''')
*: This option can be used to float the stack to the left or right of the page
*clear= ''true'' or ''false'' (default is '''false''')
*: This option can be used to force the stack to the far left or right (e.g., near an infobox).

You can also explicitly list multiple arguments:
<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">
{{stack| float=left or right | clear=true or false
|1=<object(s)>
|2=<object(s)>, etc. up to 9 parameters in the current version
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
* This multiple argument version does include extra vertical whitespace between each (set of) <code><object(s)></code>.

==== Floating portal boxes ====
{{tlf|Stack}} can be used to float a portal box beside an infobox (or other right-aligned item) when other methods might not work as anticipated.
{| class="infobox"
| '''Infobox'''
<br />line 1 <br />line 2 <br />line 3 <br />line 4 <br />line 5 <br />line 6 <br />line 7 <br />line 8 <br />line 9
|}
[[File:Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from C2RMF retouched.jpg|thumb|right|60px|Test image]]
{| class="wikitable"
|style="width:33.0em<!--(was 420px)-->;"|
This is a wikitable serving as a typical left-aligned table. The overlap on left-aligned tables had been a frequent problem when other boxes nearby were set to "float:right". So this is a test of how well a floating portal-box would avoid overlapping onto a left-side table.
|}
{{stack |{{portal|Animals}}{{portal|Cats}}}}
The example here uses {{tld|stack}} to float two portal boxes (Animals, Cats) as follows:
<pre style="width:32em; overflow:auto">
{{stack |{{portal|Animals}}{{portal|Cats}} }}
</pre>
The two portal-boxes are stacked and floated together by both being listed as {{tld|stack}}'s (first) parameter. Because the infobox and image were also stacked together, {{tld|stack}} moved the two portal-boxes alongside the infobox despite their being specified after the image.

Normally, a portal-box would be stuck below the Mona Lisa image, causing this entire text section to format further below, and causing a large text-gap of empty whitespace to appear near the infobox. There is no limit to the number of portalboxes (or Commonscat boxes) which can be listed within a {{tld|stack}} call, such as in a stub or an article with many stacked images near the bottom. Using {{tld|stack}} is extremely efficient, due to being a short template which uses builtin tag &lt;table> to float the boxes.

=== Stack template faimily ===
* {{tl|Stack}}
* {{tl|Stack begin}}
* {{tl|Stack end}}

=== Tracking category ===
* {{clc|Pages using stack with unknown parameters}}

=== See an aw ===
* {{tl|Multiple image}}, providing both vertical and horizontal layouts for multiple images.
* {{tl|Superimpose}}, which places one image over another.
* {{tl|Superimpose2}}, which can place up to fifty image layers over one another.
