<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Use ==<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>columns-list|''number of columns''|<br />
''Text (usually a list)''<br />
<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Alternatively, the width of each column may be specified using<br />
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>columns-list|colwidth=''width''|<br />
''Text (usually a list)''<br />
<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br />
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 overrides the cols= setting.<br />
<br />
This template uses [[CSS]]3 multiple column layout and is not supported by all [[WWW|Web]] [[Web browser|browsers]].<br />
<br />
{{CSS3 multiple column layout}}<br />
<br />
=== Examples ===<br />
<br />
Here is an example:<br />
<br />
<source lang=text>{{columns-list|2|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}</source><br />
<br />
which would render as:<br />
{{clear}}<!-- just in case {{CSS3 multiple column layout}} pokes down this far --><br />
{{columns-list|2|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here is another example:<br />
<br />
<source lang=text>{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}</source><br />
<br />
which would render as:<br />
<br />
{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
[[CSS]] styles can also be added after the number of columns. For example:<br />
<br />
<source lang=text>{{columns-list|2|style=width: 400px; font-style: italic;|<br />
* [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]<br />
* [[April Story]]<br />
* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]<br />
* [[Hōtai Club]]<br />
* [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]<br />
* [[Love Letter (1995 film)|Love Letter]]<br />
* [[New York, I Love You]]<br />
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]<br />
* [[Rainbow Song]]<br />
* [[Swallowtail (film)|Swallowtail]]<br />
}}</source><br />
<br />
which would render as:<br />
<br />
{{columns-list|2|style=width: 400px; font-style: italic;|<br />
* [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]<br />
* [[April Story]]<br />
* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]<br />
* [[Hōtai Club]]<br />
* [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]<br />
* [[Love Letter (1995 film)|Love Letter]]<br />
* [[New York, I Love You]]<br />
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]<br />
* [[Rainbow Song]]<br />
* [[Swallowtail (film)|Swallowtail]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If the number of columns is omitted, one column is used.<br />
