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:
  1. 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. I brought it over from Lylat Wiki, and the person who brought or created it there isn't currently active, there or here. Tacopill (Talk) 05:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC).
No, what I'm saying is, why use template:void, when it has absolutely nothing in it to transclude, and removing it would give exactly the same effect? - GP talk
As i've said... I don't know. To me,
{{#if:{{{1}}}|{{void}}|....|....}}
seems more complete, than,
{{#if:{{{1}}}||....|....}}
Even if it doesn't do so functionality. Then again, it might just be my currently-undiagnosed OCD....or my perfectionism....or some other bizzare reason.
Anyway, if it's really important... you can remove it. Or request that i remove it, if you can't.
