This template floats text to the right without changing textual alignment, however (unlike {{float right}}) the remaining text on the page is overlaid as if the floated text is not present at all. This permits such effects as:

{{zfloat right|{{nowrap|'''This text is floated right with no offset.'''}}}}{{centre|''This text is truly centred.''}}
which yields


This text is floated right with no offset.

This text is truly centred.

whereas (traditional approach):

{{float right|'''This text is floated right.'''}}{{centre|''This text is '''not''' truly centred.''}}
yields


This text is floated right.

This text is not truly centred.


Other applications:

{{zfloat right|{{nowrap|'''10em offset.'''}}|right=10em}}{{centre|Centred reference text.}}
yields


10em offset.

Centred reference text.


{{zfloat right|{{nowrap|'''12em wide.'''}}|right=10em|width=12em}}{{centre|Centred reference text.}}
yields


12em wide.

Centred reference text.

  • If insufficient display width is available, the text blocks will overlap with the result likely to be quite unreadable.
  • It will normally be necessary to take measures as above to suppress white-space wrapping (e.g. {{nowrap}}) in the floated text.
  • right: Specify right margin offset (default is 0)
  • top: Specify specify vertical offset (default 0, which normally results in level alignment)
  • width: Specify content presentation width (no default)
