Template:Div col/docEdit This Page

From FamilySearch Wiki

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Div col (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 used to make a list into columns, with the option of specifying a smaller font. It has the advantage over other column templates (i.e. {{col-begin}}) that it automatically breaks each column to an equal space, so you do not manually have to find the "half way" point on two columns, for instance.

This template can create multiple columns in web browsers which support one of the following CSS properties:

• -moz-column-count (for Mozilla/Gecko based browsers such as Firefox)
• -webkit-column-count (for WebKit based browsers such as Safari and Google Chrome)
• column-count (for CSS3 compliant browsers; see CSS3 module: Multi-column layout)

Therefore, the template does not work in browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera (see Template:Reflist#Browser support for columns).

Usage

cols =

Specifies the number of columns. Defaults to 2.

colwidth =

Can be used instead of cols to set the number of columns based on width instead. colwidth=200px will result in more columns being shown on wider displays, while colwidth=33% will result in three columns.

small =

Specifies small font size (90%) if set to yes.
