{{Div col}} formats a list into columns that wrap properly and compatibly with portable computer devices, especially PAD operating systems and small screens. It is not supported by Internet Explorer 9.
 
  
Purpose
 
It automatically breaks the available screen space into equal parts, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to guess how many columns to use and then figure out the dividing point(s), e.g., the halfway point to divide the list into two columns, or the one-third and two-thirds points to divide the list into three columns.
 
 
The list content is either provided by the |content= parameter (which can be restrictive of what content is allowed; e.g., wiki markup such as the | character must somehow be escaped), or terminated with {{div col end}}. The {{columns-list}} wrapper uses the parameter method for providing content (including its limitations).
 
The template system (family) also offers parameter options to place vertical lines parameter ("rules") between the columns (|rules=) and to add other custom styling (|style=).
 
{{Div col}} can create multiple columns in web browsers which support the following CSS properties:
 
 
column-width (for CSS3-compliant browsers; see CSS3 module: Multi-column layout)
 
By default, the template creates columns that are 30em wide.
 
 
This template's parameters
 
Descriptions
 
There are six parameters for this template:
 
 
|colwidth=
 
Specifies the minimum width of the columns so that the number of columns is automatically based on screen width (that is, more columns will be shown on wider displays). Can be specified in any CSS unit of measure, for instance, the em (about the width of the capital "M" of the displayed typeface), e.g., colwidth=20em. If no value is supplied, the template uses a default of 30em.
 
|rules=
 
Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes or some CSS styling (e.g. 1px dashed blue;).
 
|gap=
 
Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns. Specified in any CSS unit, e.g, gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.
 
|style=
 
CSS styling to apply to the columns.
 
|content=
 
content to apply to the columns.
