'''Template:Columns-list''' turns a list into a list with columns. It is a wrapper for {{tl|div col}}, except it wraps the template by allowing for the content to be in the template rather than above and below.<br />
<br />
== Use ==<br />
The width of each column may be specified using {{para|colwidth}} and a value in ems.<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.<br />
<br />
If {{para|colwidth}} is not specified, the default width of 30em will be used. <br />
<br />
This template uses [[CSS]]3 multiple-column layout, which is not supported by all [[WWW|Web]] [[Web&nbsp;browser|browsers]].<br />
<br />
{{CSS3 multiple column layout}}<br />
<br />
=== Examples ===<br />
Here is an example:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang=text>{{columns-list|colwidth=35em|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
which would render as:<br />
{{clear}}<!-- just in case {{CSS3 multiple column layout}} pokes down this far --><br />
{{columns-list|colwidth=35em|<br />
* [[George Washington]]<br />
* [[John Adams]]<br />
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
* [[James Madison]]<br />
* [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
HTML classes and [[CSS]] styles can also be added with the {{para|class}} and {{para|style}} parameters. For example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang=text>{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|class=plainlist|style=width: 600px; 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 />
}}</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
which would render as:<br />
{{columns-list|colwidth=15em|class=plainlist|style=width: 600px; 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 />
This template also works with numbered lists as its "text". For example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang=text><br />
{{columns-list|colwidth=35em|<br />
# [[George Washington]]<br />
# [[John Adams]]<br />
# [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
# [[James Madison]]<br />
# [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
{{columns-list|colwidth=35em|<br />
# [[George Washington]]<br />
# [[John Adams]]<br />
# [[Thomas Jefferson]]<br />
# [[James Madison]]<br />
# [[James Monroe]]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The template, in fact, works with ''everything'' since all it does is wrap the text provided around a block to be divided into columns by CSS. Do not stop at wikitext lists &ndash; more advanced lists generated by [[Template:HTML lists|the HTML templates]] will work too!<br />
<br />
==Error messages==<br />
Use of the no-longer-supported parameter {{para|cols}}, or use of the first unnamed parameter (aka {{para|1}}) along with {{para|2}} or a second unnamed parameter for the template's content, will generate a red error message. To fix this error, use {{para|colwidth}} instead of attempting to specify the number of columns. <br />
<br />
The presence of an equals sign within the template's content can also cause display problems and red error messages. To fix this problem, add {{para|1}} in front of the template's content.<br />
<br />
== Redirects ==<br />
* {{tl|cmn}}<br />
* {{tl|collist}}<br />
* {{tl|col-list}}<br />
* {{tl|Columnslist}}<br />
