Template:Multicol-end
Usage[edit]
{{Multicol}}
is used to start a multi-column section of a page. Between each block of column text insert {{Multicol-break}}
and close the last column with {{Multicol-end}}
. For example:
{{Multicol}} This text appears in the first column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the second column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the third column. {{Multicol-end}}
You can have any number of columns. Each column will be the same width, equally dividing the available horizontal space. Each column has a small right margin (20 pixels), creating a "gutter" that prevents text in one column from touching text in the column to its right. See franl's user page for examples of how this template can be used.
Parameters[edit]
This template has two optional parameters: the overall width of the set of columns and the width of the gutter. The overall width of the set of columns can be an absolute value (e.g., 40em) or a percentage of the available page width (e.g., 50%). This parameter defaults to 100%. For example, to create a multi-column section that is only 50% the width of the page:
{{Multicol|50%}} This text appears in the first column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the second column. {{Multicol-break}} This text appears in the third column. {{Multicol-end}}
The multi-column region is always positioned on the left side of the containing block. To change this, place the above Wikitext in a DIV block that has the CSS attribute text-align set to either center or right, like this:
<div style="text-align:center;">{{center| {{Multicol|50%}} ... {{Multicol-end}} }}</div>
