Our "Cheatsheet" is a good starting point for learning basic Wikipedia formatting.A more complete guide is here.. You can take some formatting tips from the standard way Wikipedia articles are laid out.
align - this can be set to "r" or "right" for right-alignment, and "c" or "center" for center-alignment. Anything else will make the output left-aligned. Must be a string value. fontSize - the font size of the text, e.g. "90%". If set to "f" or "fixed", the module will output a fixed-width font at 80%.
groupstyle = text-align: [left/center/right]; groupstyle = vertical-align: [top/middle/bottom]; group n style* CSS styles to apply to a specific group, in addition to any styles specified by the groupstyle parameter. This parameter should only be used when absolutely necessary in order to maintain standardization and simplicity.
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;).
Explicitly setting the CSS style for an inline run of text; Explicitly setting the language for a run of text (for cases where the rendering differs from language to language; this is generally done through the {} templates, not with manual span markup) Explicitly setting the direction of the text (LTR or RTL).
The user can customize fonts, colors, positions of links in the margins, and many other things! This is done through custom Cascading Style Sheets stored in subpages of the user's "User" page.
Recall that, outside an image-table, the parameter |right causes an image to align (either) above or below an infobox, but would not float alongside the infobox. Note the order of precedence: first come infoboxes or images using |right, then come the floating tables, and lastly, any text wraps that can still fit. If the first word of the text ...
text-bottom: Align the bottom of the image to the bottom of the text. This is somewhat lower than the baseline, because of descenders in letters like lower-case "y". top: Align the top of the image to the top of the line containing the text. Normally this is slightly higher than the top of the text, to make space between lines of text.
