Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element**. Can also be used as a mixin.
Use in HTML:
```html
...
```
The mixin source code:
{{< scss-docs name="clearfix" file="scss/mixins/_clearfix.scss" >}}
Use the mixin in SCSS:
```scss
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
```
The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
