Template:Multicolumn/doc

Multicolumn flows content into multiple columns.

Variable number of columns (default)
Available space is divided into equal-width columns of at least the given width, up to the given number of columns.


 * width
 * Minimum column width in em (default: 15)


 * columns
 * Maximum number of columns, or "auto" for as many columns as can fit in the space (default: 4)


 * gap
 * Horizontal space between columns in em (default: 1)


 * 1 (unnamed parameter)
 * The wikitext to columnize (default: blank)

Fixed number of columns
Available space is evenly divided into the given number of columns. Columns can get squished in narrow spaces, and stretched in wide spaces, so it might help to have a container of controlled width.


 * width=auto
 * Set width to "auto" for fixed number of columns


 * columns
 * Number of columns (default: 3)


 * gap
 * Horizontal space between columns in em (default: 1)


 * 1 (unnamed parameter)
 * The wikitext to columnize (default: blank)

Fixed height
The container takes up a fixed height. Contents flow into new columns only after they reach the container's bottom. There is no limit on the number of columns, so be careful not to overflow small screens.


 * width
 * Column width in em (default: 15)


 * height
 * Height of columns in approximate lines (required, 1 = 1.79em, 2 = 3.58em, etc.)


 * gap
 * Horizontal space between columns in em (default: 1)


 * 1 (unnamed parameter)
 * The wikitext to columnize (default: blank)

Fallbacks
Wikiamobile skin and IE&le;9 don't support multicolumn format.

Wikiamobile
By default, wikiamobile skin will display the enclosed wikitext normally, as though it isn't inside this template. To create an alternative view just for wikiamobile, use the following parameter in combination with the template's normal parameters.


 * wikiamobile
 * Fallback text for wikiamobile skin only (default: displays with no special formatting)

Internet Explorer 9 and lower
Not yet implemented

IE&le;9 will display the enclosed wikitext normally, as though it isn't inside this template. The exception is list items, which will display as half-width floated elements, simulating a two-column layout.
