Editing Template:Ambox/doc (section)

=== ''small'' ===
The ''small'' parameter should be passed through the template, as this will allow editors to use the small format by specifying {{para|small|left}} on an article:
{{Ambox|nocat=true|small=left|text=This is the small left-aligned Ambox format.}}
Otherwise the standard format will be produced:
{{Ambox|nocat=true|text=This is the standard Ambox format.}}

Other variations:
* For templates which should ''never'' be small, specify {{Para|small|no}} or do not pass the small parameter at all.
* For templates which should ''always'' be small, just specify {{Para|small|left}}.
* For templates which should ''default to small'', try {{para|small|<nowiki>{{{small|left}}}</nowiki>}}. This will allow an editor to override by using {{para|small|no}} on an article.

To use a small box that adjusts its width to match the text, use {{para|style|width: auto; margin-right: 0px;}} and {{para|textstyle|width: auto;}} together:
{{Ambox|nocat=true|small=left|style=width: auto; margin-right: 0px;|textstyle=width: auto; margin-right: 0px;|text=This is the small left-aligned Ambox format with flexible width.}}

See {{section link||sect}} below for more information on how to limit {{para|small}} display to cases when the template is being used for a section instead of the whole article (recommended, to prevent inconsistent top-of-article display).
