Template:Vertical-align/doc

The template aligns the element vertically inside the enclosing (parent) element (for example, surrounding text, a div element, or a table cell).

It takes three unnamed parameters:

• The first parameter controls vertical alignment. Allowed values:
  • baseline — aligns the baseline of the parent element with the baseline of the first line of text or another nested element.
  • bottom — aligns to the bottom edge of the parent element.
  • middle — aligns to the middle of the parent element.
  • top — aligns to the top edge of the parent element.
• The second parameter: the nested element whose alignment is to be provided.
• The third (optional) parameter: if non-empty, the template works in an inline context.

Examples

• <div style="border:1px solid black; height:50px;">{{Vertical-align|bottom|I'm at the bottom}}</div>

  I'm at the bottom

• <div style="border:1px solid black; height:50px;">{{Vertical-align|middle|I'm in the middle}}</div>

  I'm in the middle

• <div style="border:1px solid black; height:50px;">{{Vertical-align|top|I'm at the top}}</div>

  I'm at the top

• Inline context example: <math>\begin{align} \cos 2x &= 1 - 2 \sin^2 x \\ &= \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x \\ &= 2 \cos^2 x - 1. \end{align}</math>{{Vertical-align|bottom|← bottom line|1}}{{Vertical-align|middle|← middle line|1}}{{Vertical-align|top|← top line|1}}

$\begin{array}{cc}\cos 2x& =1-2{\sin }^{2}x\\ & ={\cos }^{2}x-{\sin }^{2}x\\ & =2{\cos }^{2}x-1.\end{array}$← bottom line← middle line← top line
