Examples
Example without Template:Tlf
New section without the template before
Without the code {{clear}}, this section starts at the right of the image.
Example that uses Template:Tlf
Template:Lorem ipsum span
Template:Tnull
New section with the template before
Here the code {{clear}} is placed before this section, so it appears below the image.
