ਫਰਮਾ:Col-begin
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 specific width.
{col-break|width=66%}: start column-1 as 66% wide.
This is text in column-1.
{col-break|width=33%}: start column-2 as 33% wide.
This is text in column-2.
{col-end}
The table will have two columns, with column 1 twice (2×) the width of column 2.
A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border, 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
|}
|
Examples
Here are some example codes that you can use to make columns of text in your Wikipedia article. You can change the width of your columns by changing the code words that go between the text of your columns. Good luck!

Column-generating template families
The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {col-float} with {col-end} instead of {col-float-end} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.
| Type | Family | Handles wiki

Responsive/ Mobile suited |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Float | "col-float" | ਹਾਂ | ਹਾਂ | {col-float} | {col-float-break} | {col-float-end} |
| "columns-start" | ਹਾਂ | ਹਾਂ | {columns-start} | {column} | {columns-end} | |
| Columns | "div col" | ਹਾਂ | ਹਾਂ | {div col} | – | {div col end} |

† Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {(!}, {!}, {!!}, {!-}, {!)})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.
