| |
| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | {{tl|Multicol}} is used to start a multi-column section of a page. Between each block of column text insert <tt>{{tl|Multicol-break}}</tt> and close the last column with <tt>{{tl|Multicol-end}}</tt>. For example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{Multicol}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the first column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the second column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the third column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-end}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can have any number of columns. Each column will be the same width, equally dividing the available horizontal space. Each column has a small right margin (20 pixels), creating a "gutter" that prevents text in one column from touching text in the column to its right. See [[User:Franl|franl]]'s user page for examples of how this template can be used.
| |

| − | == Parameters ==
| |
| − | This template has two optional parameters: the overall width of the set of columns - This can be an absolute value (e.g., <tt>40em</tt>) or a percentage of the available page width (e.g., <tt>50%</tt>). This parameter defaults to <tt>100%</tt>. For example, to create a multi-column section that is only 50% the width of the page:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{Multicol|50%}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the first column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the second column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | This text appears in the third column.
| |
| − | {{Multicol-end}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The multi-column region is always positioned on the left side of the containing block. To change this, place the above Wikitext in a <tt>[[DIV (HTML tag)|DIV]]</tt> block that has the [[Cascading Style Sheet|CSS]] attribute <tt>text-align</tt> set to either <tt>center</tt> or <tt>right</tt>, like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <div style="text-align:center;">{{center|
| |
| − | {{Multicol|50%}}
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − | {{Multicol-end}}
| |
| − | }}</div>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | - and the width of the gutter, in pixels, em, or anything else.

| − | == Related templates ==
| |
| − | The templates {{tl|Col-begin}} and friends do something similar to this template and its friends, but this template may be easier to use. Each of the following examples produce the same result (a 3-column table in which all columns have equal width):
| |
| − | | |
| − | <center>
| |
| − | {{Multicol|50%}}
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{Multicol}}
| |
| − | Column 1
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | Column 2
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | Column 3
| |
| − | {{Multicol-end}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | {{Multicol-break}}
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{Col-begin}}
| |
| − | {{Col-3}}
| |
| − | Column 1
| |
| − | {{Col-3}}
| |
| − | Column 2
| |
| − | {{Col-3}}
| |
| − | Column 3
| |
| − | {{Col-end}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | {{Multicol-end}}
| |
| − | </center>
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's simpler to add more columns to the {{tl|Multicol}} example than to the {{tl|Col-begin}} example, because in the latter case, all occurrences of {{tl|Col-3}} would need to be changed to {{tl|Col-4}}.
