Template:Div col

Template:Documentation subpage Template:High-risk Template:Ombox Template:CSS3 multiple column layout

Template:Tl can be used to make a list into columns that wrap properly and compatibly with portable computer devices, esp. PAD operating systems and small screens. It automatically breaks the available space into equal spaces, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to work out the halfway point, or the one-third & two-thirds points between two columns.

The list content is either provided by the Template:Para parameter (which can be restrictive of what content is allowed; e.g., wiki markup like | must somehow be escaped), or terminated with Template:Tl. The Template:Tl wrapper uses the parameter method for providing content (including its limitations).
The template system (family) also offers parameter options to set a smaller (90%) font-size parameter (Template:Para), place vertical lines parameter ("rules") between the columns (Template:Para) and to add other custom styling parameter (Template:Para).

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

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

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Examples

Usage of "colwidth" parameter

Important: The usage of the previous parameter "cols" is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to not use now-deprecated "cols" parameter (please leave it blank) and instead use "colwidth" parameter.

Example with column width of 10em

{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

Deprecated usage

Usage without parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. ~~Example with no parameters produces two columns as the default is two columns.~~

Usage of parameters without naming the parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. When parameters are not named, the template considers the first unnamed parameter to be "cols" and the second unnamed parameter to be "colwidth". Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Examples

Usage of "colwidth" parameter

Important: The usage of the previous parameter "cols" is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to not use now-deprecated "cols" parameter (please leave it blank) and instead use "colwidth" parameter.

Example with column width of 10em

{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

Usage with multiple named parameters

When parameters are named in the template, they can be used in any order. Example:

{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

or

{{Div col|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes|colwidth=10em}}
* a

Deprecated usage

Usage without parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. ~~Example with no parameters produces two columns as the default is two columns.~~

{{Div col}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

~~produces:~~

Usage of parameters without naming the parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. When parameters are not named, the template considers the first unnamed parameter to be "cols" and the second unnamed parameter to be "colwidth". Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a

Usage of "cols" parameter

Important: Use of now-deprecated "cols" parameter (equivalent to the first unnamed parameter) is discouraged, leave it blank and instead use the "colwidth" parameter. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. Template:Cot

Example with 3 columns

{{Div col|3}}

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Examples

Usage of "colwidth" parameter

Important: The usage of the previous parameter "cols" is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to not use now-deprecated "cols" parameter (please leave it blank) and instead use "colwidth" parameter.

Example with column width of 10em

{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

* h
}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

Usage with multiple named parameters

When parameters are named in the template, they can be used in any order. Example:

{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

or

{{Div col|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

produces

Deprecated usage

Usage without parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. ~~Example with no parameters produces two columns as the default is two columns.~~

{{Div col}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

~~produces:~~

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a

c
d
e
f
g
h

Usage of parameters without naming the parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. When parameters are not named, the template considers the first unnamed parameter to be "cols" and the second unnamed parameter to be "colwidth". Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h

Usage of "cols" parameter

Important: Use of now-deprecated "cols" parameter (equivalent to the first unnamed parameter) is discouraged, leave it blank and instead use the "colwidth" parameter. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. Template:Cot

Example with 3 columns

{{Div col|3}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

produces

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Deprecated usage

Usage without parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. ~~Example with no parameters produces two columns as the default is two columns.~~

{{Div col}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

~~produces:~~

g
h

Usage of parameters without naming the parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. When parameters are not named, the template considers the first unnamed parameter to be "cols" and the second unnamed parameter to be "colwidth". Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a
b
c
d
e
f

Usage of "cols" parameter

Important: Use of now-deprecated "cols" parameter (equivalent to the first unnamed parameter) is discouraged, leave it blank and instead use the "colwidth" parameter. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. Template:Cot

Example with 3 columns

{{Div col|3}}

Template:Documentation subpage Template:High-risk Template:Ombox Template:CSS3 multiple column layout

Template:Tl can be used to make a list into columns that wrap properly and compatibly with portable computer devices, esp. PAD operating systems and small screens. It automatically breaks the available space into equal spaces, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to work out the halfway point, or the one-third & two-thirds points between two columns.

The list content is either provided by the Template:Para parameter (which can be restrictive of what content is allowed; e.g., wiki markup like | must somehow be escaped), or terminated with Template:Tl. The Template:Tl wrapper uses the parameter method for providing content (including its limitations).
The template system (family) also offers parameter options to set a smaller (90%) font-size parameter (Template:Para), place vertical lines parameter ("rules") between the columns (Template:Para) and to add other custom styling parameter (Template:Para).

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

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

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2).

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Examples

Usage of "colwidth" parameter

Important: The usage of the previous parameter "cols" is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to not use now-deprecated "cols" parameter (please leave it blank) and instead use "colwidth" parameter.

Example with column width of 10em

{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a

Deprecated usage

Usage without parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. ~~Example with no parameters produces two columns as the default is two columns.~~

{{Div col}}

Usage of parameters without naming the parameters

Usage of fixed column counts is deprecated, therefore this example should no longer be used as well. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. When parameters are not named, the template considers the first unnamed parameter to be "cols" and the second unnamed parameter to be "colwidth". Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a

Usage of "cols" parameter

Important: Use of now-deprecated "cols" parameter (equivalent to the first unnamed parameter) is discouraged, leave it blank and instead use the "colwidth" parameter. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. Template:Cot

Example with 3 columns

{{Div col|3}}

Template:Documentation subpage Template:High-risk Template:Ombox Template:CSS3 multiple column layout

Template:Tl can be used to make a list into columns that wrap properly and compatibly with portable computer devices, esp. PAD operating systems and small screens. It automatically breaks the available space into equal spaces, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to work out the halfway point, or the one-third & two-thirds points between two columns.

The list content is either provided by the Template:Para parameter (which can be restrictive of what content is allowed; e.g., wiki markup like | must somehow be escaped), or terminated with Template:Tl. The Template:Tl wrapper uses the parameter method for providing content (including its limitations).
The template system (family) also offers parameter options to set a smaller (90%) font-size parameter (Template:Para), place vertical lines parameter ("rules") between the columns (Template:Para) and to add other custom styling parameter (Template:Para).

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

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

Usage

There are six parameters for this template and their usage is described below.

Template:Para: Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides cols. Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in em, about the width of a capital "M", e.g, colwidth=20em
Template:Para: Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
Template:Para: Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
Template:Para: CSS styling to apply to the columns.
Template:Para: content to apply to the columns.
Template:S Template:Nobold: Specifies the number of columns (default 2). (Now deprecated, as colwidth, above, is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays)). For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below.

Any additional unnamed parameters (e.g. third, fourth, fifth, etc. unnamed parameter) will be ignored by the template and will show an error message when previewing the page.

Example with usage of (deprecated) unnamed parameters

Note the empty column for the "number of columns" between "Div col" and "10em".

{{div col||10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h

Usage of "cols" parameter

Important: Use of now-deprecated "cols" parameter (equivalent to the first unnamed parameter) is discouraged, leave it blank and instead use the "colwidth" parameter. For a fixed number of columns, use a template from the See also section below. Template:Cot

Example with 3 columns

{{Div col|3}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h

Example with 4 columns

{{Div col|4}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

produces

Template loop detected: Template:Div col

a
