This is a placeholder page - the plugin is a work in progress.

This is a simple floating div used as a sidebar for any page. It can be added simply by using

[float]
content goes here
[/float]

The options available are:

Option	Unit	Default	Accepted Values	Example	Function
Side		right	right/left	right	Controls which side to place the sidebar on.
Width	pixel	200	50-500	width=185	Controls the width of the sidebar.
Size	pixel	10	8-20	size=30	Controls the font size in the sidebar.
Background	Hex Color	background_neu	#000000 - #FFFFFF	background=#abcdef	Controls the background color of the sidebar.

Right sidebar, 180px wide, 12px font size, and #eeeeff for a background color.

[float right background=#eeeeff size=12 width=180]
content goes here
[/float]

Left sidebar, 50px wide, 8px font size, and #eeeeff for a background color.

[float left background=#eeeeff size=8 width=50]
content goes here
[/float]

Headers do not work within the sidebar - they will not process at all leaving you with the <pre>=== tag ===<pre> sitting in the text.
Headers don't wrap with the sidebar on the left, they will move down below the sidebar.
