Template:Column templates

The col-begin, col-break and col-end templates control columns of text on a page:
 * : starts a table (followed by for 1st column)
 * : triggers the start of each column
 * : ends the multi-column table.

The widths of columns can be specified by using various additional codes. See below for examples.

Usage

 * : start table with width.
 * : start column-1 as 66% wide.
 * This is text in col-1.
 * : start column-2 as 33% wide.
 * Text column-2.

The table will have two columns, with column 1 twice (2×) the width of column 2.

A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border—for example, as in Tutorial/Wrap-up and more info—the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:


 * }

Col-begin Col-2 Column 1 here Col-2 Column 2 here Col-end

Col-begin Col-3 Column 1 here Col-3 Column 2 here Col-3 Column 3 here Col-end

and so on, up to Col-5

&#123;{Col-begin}} Col-break Column 1 here Col-break Column 2 here Col-break Column 3 here Col-break Column 4 here Col-break Column 5 here Col-break Column 6 here Col-end

&#123;{Columns-start|num=3}} Column 1 here Column Column 2 here Column Column 3 here Columns-end

Examples
Here are some example codes that you can use to make columns of text in your wikipedia article. You can change the width of your columns by changing the code words that go between the text of your columns. Good luck!

Example 3, Lots of columns, using col-break:

Example 4, use col-break with specified widths:
