Note: If you trying to align a table column (left, center, or right) use Template:Table alignment.

With no input arguments, it saves typing the following text (in a table):

style="text-align:left"|

To use, type {{left}} at the start of the table cell.

With an input argument, it saves typing:

<div style="float:left;">...</div>

To use, type {{left|content}} to align contents.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:30em; text-align:center"
!colspan="4"| Header text
|-
| {{Left}} Content1A <br/> Content1B || Content2
|}

{| class="wikitable" style="width:30em; text-align:center"
!colspan="4"| Header text
|-
| {{Left|Content1A}} <br/> Content1B || Content2
|}

• {{align}}
• {{center}}, {{right}} and {{justify}}
• {{Center block}}
• {{Image frame}}
• {{Table alignment}} - to align whole columns in tables.
