Template:Columns-list/doc

This is a documentation subpage for . It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is intended to be used in a list in the page itself, 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.

Usage

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

Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox and other Gecko-based browsers and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future. Internet Explorer does not currently support the column selector and version 8 is not scheduled to support it.

If the number of columns is omitted, two columns will be used.

Example

An example would be

{{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

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

 {{columns-list|2;width:400px;font-style:italic|
  * New York, I Love You
  * Hōtai Club
  * The Kon Ichikawa Story
  * Rainbow Song
  * Hana & Alice]]
  * All About Lily Chou-Chou
  * April Story
  * Swallowtail Butterfly
  * Picnic
  * Fried Dragon Fish
 }}

which would render as

 * New York, I Love You
 * Hōtai Club
 * The Kon Ichikawa Story
 * Rainbow Song
 * Hana & Alice]]
 * All About Lily Chou-Chou
 * April Story
 * Swallowtail Butterfly
 * Picnic
 * Fried Dragon Fish
