{{High-use}}

== Description ==
It is to '''left''' align elements on a page. The only parameter is the content to be aligned. See also [[Template:Align]] for more options and flexibility.

== Usage ==
With no input arguments, it saves typing the following text (in a table):
: <code><nowiki>style="text-align:left"|</nowiki></code>

To use, type <code><nowiki>{{left}}</nowiki></code> at the start of the table cell. It will leave [[:Category:Pages using left with no arguments]].

With an input argument, it saves typing: 
: <code><nowiki>&lt;div style="float:left;">...</div&gt;</nowiki></code>

To use, type <code><nowiki>{{left|content}}</nowiki></code> to align contents.

== Examples ==
=== Example 1 ===
{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{| class="wikitable" style="width:30em; text-align:center"
!colspan="4"| Header text
|-
| {{Left}} Content1A <br/> Content1B || Content2
|}
</pre>
{{col-break|gap=2em}}
{| class="wikitable" style="width:30em; text-align:center"
!colspan="4"| Header text
|-
| {{Left}} Content1A <br/> Content1B || Content2
|}
{{col-end}}

{{col-begin}}
{{col-break}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{| class="wikitable" style="width:30em; text-align:center"
