Template talk:Tnavbar

Well that's handy then. Thanks for linking mnemonic but not float, what clearing means (ok you linked clr), what it means to be previously established, and so on.

The template documentation generally sucks, but this has just got my goat now. I may be unusual, but I write the documentation and test before I write the template (I am new to writing templates but not usednew to software engineering). Then at least one person, myself, knows what it does. And believe me, my test cases fail sometimes. I don't find fault in the test cases but in the template. But here we have fault in the doc. Someone coming to find and deciding, after all, it is not a typo or magic, comes here and finds that it causes any previously-established float to clear. The only words that are not jargon in that sentence are "This causes any" and "to".

I realise I probably take a minority view here, since Wikipedia is for everyone (as long as they know it all already). But this is the height, so far, of patronising people who are intelligent, willing to learn, but want to find out what it does not what clearing a float is about (my guess without cheating, it makes sure the following paragraph doesn't go over a box above it). I don't care if that is not entirely accurate, it is the lead and I want one sentence to tell me what it does, not the technical details (which I can scroll down for, or view source).
