Use this template to start a multi-column section of a page.  For example:
+
{{template doc}}
 
+
<pre>
+
{{MultiCol}}
+
This text appears in the first column.
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
This text appears in the second column.
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
This text appears in the third column.
+
{{EndMultiCol}}
+
</pre>
+
 
+
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 (20 pixel) right margin, which prevents text in one column from touching text in the column to its right.  See [[User:Franl|franl]]'s user page for examples of how this template can be used.
+
This template has one optional parameter: the overall width of the set of columns.  This can be an absolute value (e.g., <tt>12cm</tt>) or a percentage of the available page width (e.g., <tt>50%</tt>).  This parameter defaults to <tt>100%</tt>.  For example, to create a multi-column section of a page that is only 50% the width of the page, do this:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
{{MultiCol|50%}}
+
This text appears in the first column.
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
This text appears in the second column.
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
This text appears in the third column.
+
{{EndMultiCol}}
+
</pre>
+
 
+
The multi-column region is always positioned on the left side of the containing block.  To change this, place the above Wikitext in a <tt>[[DIV (HTML tag)|DIV]]</tt> block that has the [[Cascading Style Sheet|CSS]] attribute <tt>text-align</tt> set to either <tt>center</tt> or <tt>right</tt>, like this:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
<div style="text-align: center">
+
{{MultiCol|50%}}
+
...
+
{{EndMultiCol}}
+
</div>
+
</pre>
+
 
+

The templates {{tl|Col-begin}} and friends do something similar to this template and its friends, but this template may be easier to use.  Each of the following examples produce the same result (a 3-column table in which all columns have equal width):
+
 
+
<center>
+
{{MultiCol|50%}}
+
<pre>
+
{{MultiCol}}
+
Column 1
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
Column 2
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
Column 3
+
{{EndMultiCol}}
+
</pre>
+
{{ColBreak}}
+
<pre>
+
{{Col-begin}}
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 1
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 2
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 3
+
{{Col-end}}
+
</pre>
+
{{EndMultiCol}}
+
</center>
