View source for Template:Columns-list/doc

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 ===

 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>columns-list|''number of columns''|
 ''text (usually a list)''
 <nowiki>}}</nowiki>

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.

{{CSS3 multiple column layout}}

==== Example ====

An example would be

 <nowiki>{{columns-list|2|
  * [[George Washington]]
  * [[John Adams]]
  * [[Thomas Jefferson]]
  * [[James Madison]]
  * [[James Monroe]]
 }}</nowiki>

which would render as

<!-- Substituted {{columns-list}} to prevent possible loop --><div {{#if: 2| style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2 }};">
* [[George Washington]]
* [[John Adams]]
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]
* [[James Madison]]
* [[James Monroe]]
</div>


CSS styles can also be added after the number of columns. For example
  <nowiki>{{columns-list|2</nowiki>''';width:400px;font-style:italic'''<nowiki>|
  * [[New York, I Love You]]
  * [[Hōtai Club]]
  * [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]
  * [[Rainbow Song]]
  * [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]
  * [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]
  * [[April Story]]
  * [[Swallowtail Butterfly (film)|Swallowtail Butterfly]]
  * [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
  * [[Fried Dragon Fish]]
 }}</nowiki>

which would render as

<div {{#if: 2| style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2; width:400px; font-style:italic }};">
* [[New York, I Love You]]
* [[Hōtai Club]]
* [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]
* [[Rainbow Song]]
* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]
* [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]
* [[April Story]]
* [[Swallowtail Butterfly (film)|Swallowtail Butterfly]]
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
* [[Fried Dragon Fish]]
</div>

=== Redirects ===
* {{tl|cmn}} redirects here

=== Bugs ===
The use of a raw link within the template will break the rendering:

{{pre2|<nowiki>{{columns-list|2|
  * [[George Washington]]
  * [[John Adams]][http://www.example.org]
  * [[Thomas Jefferson]]
  * [[James Madison]]
  * [[James Monroe]]
 }}</nowiki>}}

Shows as:

{{columns-list|2|
  * [[George Washington]]
  * [[John Adams]][http://www.example.org]
  * [[Thomas Jefferson]]
  * [[James Madison]]
  * [[James Monroe]]
 }}

This can be resolved by converting to link to {{tag|ref|open}}
