Template:Columns-list/doc

This template is intended to be used in a list in the article itself. Based on Template:Reflist, but different in that the text to be displayed is manually created rather than a list of references.

Usage

{{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 determined 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.

Examples

Here is an example :

{{columns-list|2|
* George Washington
* John Adams
* Thomas Jefferson
* James Madison
* James Monroe
}}

which would render as

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

Here is another example :

{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|
* 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|2|style=width: 400px; font-style: italic;|
* 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
}}

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

If the number of columns is omitted, one column is used.
