{{CSS3 multiple column layout}}

{{tl|Div col}} can be used to make a list into columns that wrap properly and compatibly with portable computer devices, esp. PAD operating systems and small screens. It automatically breaks the available space into equal spaces, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to work out the halfway point, or the one-third and two-thirds points between two columns.
* The list content is either provided by the {{para|content}} parameter (which can be restrictive of what content is allowed; e.g., wiki markup like {{!}} must somehow be escaped), or terminated with {{tl|div col end}}. The {{tl|columns-list}} wrapper uses the parameter method for providing content (including its limitations).
* The template system (family) also offers parameter options to set a smaller (90%) font-size parameter ({{para|small|yes}}), place vertical lines parameter ("rules") between the columns ({{para|rules}}) and to add other custom styling ({{para|style}}).

{{tl|Div col}} can create multiple columns in [[web browser]]s which support the following [[CSS]] properties:
* ''column-width'' (for [[Cascading Style Sheets#CSS 3|CSS3]]-compliant browsers; see [http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/ CSS3 module: Multi-column layout])

By default, the template creates columns that are 30em wide.

==Usage==
There are six parameters for this template; their usage is described below.
; {{para|colwidth}} : Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Can be specified in any CSS unit, for instance in [[Em (typography)|em]], about the width of a capital "M", e.g., <code>colwidth=20em</code>. If no value is supplied, the template uses a default of 30em.
; {{para|rules}} : Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to <code>yes</code> or some CSS styling (e.g. <code>1px dashed blue;</code>).
; {{para|gap}} : Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, <code>gap=2em</code>. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
; {{para|style}} : [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS styling]] to apply to the columns.
; {{para|small|yes}} : sets font size to 90%.
; {{para|content}} : content to apply to the columns.

==Examples==

===Usage of "colwidth" parameter===
; Example with column width of 10em
<pre>
{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

===Usage of "rules" parameter===
; Example:
<pre>
{{Div col|rules=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|rules=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

===Usage of "gap" parameter===
; Example:
<pre>
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

===Usage of "small" parameter===
; Example showing how setting "small" parameter to "yes" produces smaller font size
<pre>
{{Div col|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

===Usage of "content" parameter===
; Example showing how to provide "content" parameter without using {{tlx|Div col end}}
<pre>
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|content=
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|content=
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
}}

===Usage with multiple parameters===
Parameters can be used in any order.
'''Example: '''
<pre>
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
</pre>
or
<pre>
{{Div col|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}
and exactly the same result below
{{Div col|rules=yes|gap=2em|small=yes|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

; Example with column width of 20em
<pre>
{{div col|colwidth=20em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=20em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

; Example with column width of 30em
<pre>
{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=30em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

; Example of how this template behaves if no [[•|bullets]] (generated by asterisk mark) are used.
<pre>
{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
{{div col end}}
</pre>
; produces:
{{Div col|colwidth=10em}}
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
{{Div col end}}
