clear attribute

Type:"left" or "right"
Inherited:no
Used By:All block elements
See:float

The clear attribute allows more control over any blocks that are floated by setting the float attribute to "left" or "right".

The value can be set to "left" to ensure the block is positioned flush on the left margin of the paragraph, or "right" to ensure it's flush on the right. In practice limitations in the Report Generator mean that setting clear to "right" but float to "left", or vice-versa, will be unlikely to work.
