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
• number of columns

Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox and other Gecko-based browsers and Safari 3, though the feature is included in CSS3 so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future. Internet Explorer does not currently support the column selector and version 8 is not scheduled to support it.

If the number of columns is omitted, two columns will be used.

Example
An example would be

• 2

which would render as


 * George Washington
 * John Adams
 * Thomas Jefferson
 * James Madison
 * James Monroe

CSS styles can also be added after the number of columns. For example • 2 ;width:400px;font-style:italic

which would render as


 * New York, I Love You
 * Hōtai Club
 * The Kon Ichikawa Story
 * Rainbow Song
 * Hana & Alice
 * All About Lily Chou-Chou
 * April Story
 * Swallowtail Butterfly
 * Picnic
 * Fried Dragon Fish

Bug
Note: if any of the bulleted list items includes a URL containing a query ("?") in the string the template will break and display only the value assigned to the column parameter. For example this wikitext: • 2 displays as: 2

Solution
To avoid this use the following code:
 * Item 1
 * Item 2
 * Item 3
 * Item 4
 * Item 5
 * Item 6
