Template:Columns-list/doc
| 42px | Parts of this template (those related to documentation) need to be updated. Please update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. (October 2015) |
This template is for use in a list in the body of an article, rather than in a navigation template like Template:Navbox. Based on Template:Reflist, but different in that the text to be displayed is manually created rather than a list of references.
Contents
Use
{{columns-list|number of columns|
Text (usually a list)
}}
Alternatively, the width of each column may be specified using
{{columns-list|colwidth=width|
Text (usually a list)
}}
Here, width specifies the width of the columns, and determines dynamically the number of columns based on screen width; more columns will be shown on wider displays. This overrides the cols= setting.
This template uses CSS3 multiple column layout and is not supported by all Web browsers.

Column-generating template families
| Caution | The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{Multicol}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{Multicol-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting. |

File:Dagger-14-plain.png I.e., can the columns handle the wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) and/or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.
