Template code Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template

Note that, depending on the template, you may need to add a clear or complete a table/div just before  is inserted (within the noinclude tags).

The line break is also useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.

Alternately, you may find it better to consistently put at the very end of your template, immediately next to the category in which the template is to be placed. Thus: '''If your template is producing a few blank lines at the top, is a likely cause. The above solution will remove those lines.
