Template:Columns-list

Template documentation

Not to be confused with Template:Col-list

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

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

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

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

Example

An example would be

{{columns-list|2|
 * Charles II
 * James II
 * Willam and Mary
 * Anne
 * George I
 }}

which would render as

• Charles II
• James II
• Willam and Mary
• Anne
• George I

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

 {{columns-list|2;width:400px;font-style:italic|
 * [[Birmingham]]
 * [[Bristol]]
 * [[Belfast]]
 * [[Edinburgh]]
 * [[Glasgow]]
 * [[Leeds]]
 * [[London]]
 * [[Manchester]]
 * [[Newcastle upon Tyne]]
 * [[Southampton]]
 }}

which would render as

• Birmingham
• Bristol
• Belfast
• Edinburgh
• Glasgow
• Leeds
• London
• Manchester
• Newcastle upon Tyne
• Southampton
