Template:Col-begin/doc

(This is the documentation for: .)

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 2 columns, with column 1 twice (2x) the width of column 2.

A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border 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

Col-begin Col-4 Column 1 here Col-4 Column 2 here Col-4 Column 3 here Col-4 Column 4 here Col-end

and so on, up to Col-5
