Template:Columns-list
Parts of this template (those related to documentation) need to be updated. Please update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (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.

CSS styles can also be added after the number of columns. For example:
{{columns-list|2|style=width: 400px; font-style: italic;|
* [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]
* [[April Story]]
* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]
* [[Hōtai Club]]
* [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]
* [[Love Letter (1995 film)|Love Letter]]
* [[New York, I Love You]]
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
* [[Rainbow Song]]
* [[Swallowtail (film)|Swallowtail]]
}}
which would render as:
If the number of columns is omitted, one column is used.

Column-generating template families
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. |
Family | Type |
Handles wiki
table code? |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
"Col" | Table | Yes | {{Col-begin}} or {{Col-begin-small}} |
{{Col-break}} {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}} |
{{Col-end}} |
"Columns" | Table | No | {{Columns}} | – | – |
"Multicol" | Table | Yes | {{Multicol}} | {{Multicol-break}} | {{Multicol-end}} |
"Col-float" | CSS float | Yes | {{Col-float}} | {{Col-float-break}} | {{Col-float-end}} |
"Columns-start" | CSS float | Yes | {{Columns-start}} | {{Column}} | {{Columns-end}} |
"Div col" | CSS columns | Yes | {{Div col}} – {{Columns-list}} (wrapper) |
{{No col break}} | {{Div col end}} |
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.
