Why the ?
Missing closing tag. Oh, and why the {{void}}? (And why its use everywhere else? It seems pretty pointless to me.) - GP talk 15:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- the ifeq condition is broken up like this:
- if {{{1}}} = (i.e. nothing)
- then, output "both"
- else, output the value of {{{1}}}
- As for it's use, it clears out all the neiboring content in the cell or div. To the left, if 1 equal to "left"; to the right; if 1 equal to "right"; and both directions if 1 is undefined, blank or equal to "both".

- Yes, I know how #if and the HTML clear attribute work, but what do they have to do with the use of template:void here? - GP talk
- My guess would be, to capture all the possible null values that could go in {{{1}}}, which maybe an improvement over #if: (without eq). I'm not sure on this, however, since i didn't design it.

{{#if:{{{1}}}|{{void}}|....|....}}
- seems more complete, than,
{{#if:{{{1}}}||....|....}}
