Template:Columns-list/doc

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 usage of fixed columns is deprecated and should be removed or replaced by the usage of colwidth (further below):

{{columns-list|number of columns|
Text (usually a list)
}}

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 template uses CSS3 multiple column layout and is not supported by all Web browsers.

CSS3 multiple-column layout browser support

Property	Internet Explorer	Firefox	Safari	Chrome	Opera

columns	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
break-before break-after break-inside	Y	N	N	N	Y

Examples

Here is an example:

{{columns-list|colwidth=35em|
* [[George Washington]]
* [[John Adams]]
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]
* [[James Madison]]
* [[James Monroe]]
}}

which would render as:

• George Washington
• John Adams
• Thomas Jefferson
• James Madison
• James Monroe

CSS styles can also be added after the number of columns. For example:

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

• All About Lily Chou-Chou
• April Story
• Hana & Alice
• Hōtai Club
• The Kon Ichikawa Story
• Love Letter
• New York, I Love You
• Picnic
• Rainbow Song
• Swallowtail
