Editing Template:Columns-list/doc

<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AT THE END OF THIS PAGE -->

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.

== Use ==
The width of each column may be specified using <code>colwidth</code> and a value in ems.
 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>columns-list|colwidth=''width''|
 ''Text (usually a list)''
 <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
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.

If <code>colwidth</code> is not specified, the default width of 20em will be used. 

This template uses CSS3 multiple-column layout, which is not supported by all web browsers.

=== Examples ===
Here is an example:
<source lang=text>{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
* Bat
* Cow
* Dolphin
* Fish
* Horse
* Llama
* Parrot
* Pig
* Polar bear
* Rabbit
* Sheep
* Squid
* Turtle
* Wolf
}}</source>

which would render as:
{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
* Bat
* Cow
* Dolphin
* Fish
* Horse
* Llama
* Parrot
* Pig
* Polar bear
* Rabbit
* Sheep
* Squid
* Turtle
* Wolf
}}

CSS styles can also be added in addition to the colwidth parameter. For example:

<source lang=text>{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|style=width: 600px; font-style: italic;|
* All About Lily Chou-Chou
* April Story
* Hana and Alice
* Hōtai Club
* The Kon Ichikawa Story
* Love Letter (1995 film)
* New York, I Love You
* Picnic (1996 film)
* Rainbow Song
* Swallowtail
}}</source>

which would render as:
{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|style=width: 600px; font-style: italic;|
* All About Lily Chou-Chou
* April Story
* Hana and Alice
* Hōtai Club
* The Kon Ichikawa Story
* Love Letter (1995 film)
* New York, I Love You
* Picnic (1996 film)
* Rainbow Song
* Swallowtail
}}
