Template:Col-end
|}
The {col-begin}, {col-break} and {col-end} templates control columns of text on a page:
- {col-begin} - starts a table (followed by {col-break} for 1st column)
- {col-break} - triggers the start of each column
- {col-end} - ends the multi-column table.
The widths of columns can be specified by using various additional codes. See below for examples.
Usage
- {col-begin|width=70%} - start table with width.
- {col-break|width=66%} - start column-1 as 66% wide.
- This is text in col-1.
- {col-break|width=33%} - start column-2 as 33% wide.
- Text column-2.
- {col-end}
The table will have 2 columns, with column 1 twice (2x) the width of column 2.
A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border — for example, as in Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wrap-up and more info) — the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:
{col-begin|width=95%} |- | Left column | Right column |} |
{Col-begin} {Col-4} Column 1 here {Col-4} Column 2 here {Col-end} |
{Col-begin} {Col-3} Column 1 here {Col-4} Column 2 here {Col-4} Column 3 here {Col-end} |
{Col-begin} {Col-4} Column 1 here {Col-4} Column 2 here {Col-4} Column 3 here {Col-4} Column 4 here {Col-end} |
and so on, up to {Col-5} |
{Col-begin|class=references-small} {Col-break} Column 1 here {Col-break} Column 2 here {Col-break} Column 3 here {Col-break} Column 4 here {Col-break} Column 5 here {Col-break} Column 6 here {Col-end} |
{Top} Column 1 here {Mid} Column 2 here {Bottom} |
{Columns-start|num=3} Column 1 here {Column} Column 2 here {Column} Column 3 here {Columns-end} |
{Multicol} Column 1 here {Multicol-break} Column 2 here {Multicol-break} Column 3 here {Multicol-break} Column 4 here {Multicol-end} |
