Examples

This template defaults to being right-floated:

{{floated box|1=This is example text with default alignment.}}

This is example text with default alignment.

It becomes left-floated if you specify |left=yes:

{{floated box|1=This is example text in a left-aligned box.|left=yes}}

This is example text in a left-aligned box.

You can also remove the alignment completely if you specify |float=none (don't forget |leftmargin=0):

{{floated box|1=This is example text in a non-aligned box.|float=none|leftmargin=0}}

This is example text in a non-aligned box.

Custom width can be specified using the |width= parameter:

{{floated box|1=This is example text with default alignment and 50% width.|width=50%}}

This is example text with default alignment and 50% width.

Note that none of the above applies to mobile devices (i.e. viewports smaller than 640px wide).

Custom margins can be specified using the |bottommargin=, |topmargin=, |leftmargin= and |rightmargin= parameters:

{{floated box|1=This is example text with default alignment, 50% width and custom margins.|width=50%|bottommargin=2em|topmargin=2em|leftmargin=4em|rightmargin=4em}}

This is example text with default alignment, 50% width and custom margins.

Additional classes can be specified using the |class= parameter, e.g. |class=noprint will hide the box when a page is printed:

{{floated box|1=This is example text you can't see when you print the page ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:DownloadAsPdf&page=Template%3AFloated_box%2Fdoc&action=show-download-screen try it]).|class=noprint}}
