Forum:Templates and spacing

I realize that my topic title might not the the most obvious, or easiest to understand in terms of this topic (or maybe it is, I don't know), but I noticed some wiki's are able to use a few templates (or tables) together, and either have to use no spaces, or a single space (or return) between the tables, and there will be a noticeable gap. I figured out how to do something along those lines (Ok, I simply stole the margin code from Memory Alpha) for sidebars (such as those seen on character pages), but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how that is done in general (as not all have those codes). I have to double space to get a gap, and I suppose doing that is no big deal, but I would like to know how this is being done, particularly for file pages when there may be more then one notice/message displayed regarding licensing and usage information. Thank you for the time taken in this matter, and I certainly hope I was able to explain what it is I am looking for.--Terran Officer 23:16, May 14, 2010 (UTC) ) at the bottom of the templates in their code. If you can show us an example of what you're talking about, it might be easier to help. Joey (talk) 23:30, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you are thinking of the margin: property of a table/template. With margin: you can specify the distance apart an element is from everything else (top, right, bottom and/or left). Have a look at w3c schools for a tutorial. Alternatively, you could always just add a line break (

Margin, yeah that could probably be what I am thinking of, I don't know, I just noticed not everything seems to have margin rules coded in, yet they space a part properly, it's what was driving me nuts. I'll take a look at the link you posted, thanks.--Terran Officer 23:33, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
