Template:Columns-list/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Columns-list. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template 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 colwidth and a value in ems.

{{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.

If colwidth 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:

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

which would render as:

• 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:

{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|style=width: 600px; font-style: italic;|

* Hōtai Club
* The Kon Ichikawa Story
* Love Letter (1995 film)

}}

which would render as:

• Hana and Alice
• Hōtai Club
• The Kon Ichikawa Story
• Love Letter (1995 film)
