== Usage ==
+
{{template doc}}
{{tl|Multicol}} is used to start a multi-column section of a page. Between each block of column text insert <tt>{{tl|Multicol-break}}</tt> and close the last column with <tt>{{tl|Multicol-end}}</tt>. For example:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
{{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}}
+
</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 right margin (20 pixels), creating a "gutter" that 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.
+
 
+
== Parameters ==
+
This template has one optional parameter: the overall width of the set of columns. This can be an absolute value (e.g., <tt>40em</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 that is only 50% the width of the page:
+
 
+
<pre>
+
{{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}}
+
</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;">{{center|
+
{{Multicol|50%}}
+
...
+
{{Multicol-end}}
+
}}</div>
+
</pre>
+
 
+
== Related templates ==
+
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
+
{{Multicol-break}}
+
Column 2
+
{{Multicol-break}}
+
Column 3
+
{{Multicol-end}}
+
</pre>
+
{{Multicol-break}}
+
<pre>
+
{{Col-begin}}
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 1
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 2
+
{{Col-3}}
+
Column 3
+
{{Col-end}}
+
</pre>
+
{{Multicol-end}}
+
</center>
+
 
+
It's simpler to add more columns to the {{tl|Multicol}} example than to the {{tl|Col-begin}} example, because in the latter case, all occurrences of {{tl|Col-3}} would need to be changed to {{tl|Col-4}}.
