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 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.

* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]

* [[New York, I Love You]]
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
* [[Rainbow Song]]
* [[Swallowtail (film)|Swallowtail]]
}}

Column-generating template families
| The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting. |
<section begin="table" />
| Family | Type | Handles wiki
table code? |
Responsive/ Mobile suited |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Col" | Table | Yes | Yes | {{Col-begin}}, {{Col-begin-fixed}} or {{Col-begin-small}} |
{{Col-break}} or {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}} |
{{Col-end}} |
| "Col-float" | CSS float | Yes | Yes | {{Col-float}} | {{Col-float-break}} | {{Col-float-end}} |
| "Columns" | Table | No | Yes | {{Columns}} | – | – |
| "Columns-list" | CSS columns | Yes | Yes | {{Columns-list}} (wrapper) | – | – |
| "Columns-start" | CSS float | Yes | Yes | {{Columns-start}} | {{Column}} | {{Columns-end}} |
| "Flex columns" | CSS flexbox | Yes | Yes | {{Flex columns}} | – | – |
| "Div col" | CSS columns | Yes | Yes | {{Div col}} | – | {{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 {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.<section end="table" />
