Template:Columns-list/doc
![]() |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Columns-list (see that page for the template itself). 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 article 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[edit source]
{{columns-list|number of columns| text (usually a list) }}
Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox and other Gecko-based browsers[1] and Safari 3,[2] though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.[3] Internet Explorer does not currently support the column selector and version 8 is not scheduled to support it.[4]
If the number of columns is omitted, two columns will be used.
Example[edit source]
An example would be
{{columns-list|2| * [[George Washington]] * [[John Adams]] * [[Thomas Jefferson]] * [[James Madison]] * [[James Monroe]] }}
which would render as
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 and Alice|Hana & Alice]] * [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]] * [[April Story]] * [[Swallowtail Butterfly (film)|Swallowtail Butterfly]] * [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]] * [[Fried Dragon Fish]] }}
which would render as
