The div col (short for division columns) formats a list into columns that wrap at multiple screen resolutions responsively. 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.

Usage

Basic usage

{{div col}} <!-- default width is 30em -->
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{div col end}}

Produces:

• a
• b
• c
• d
• e
• f
• g
• h

Parameters

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). If no value is supplied, the template uses a default of 30em. The width 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.

|rules=yes

Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to yes.

|gap=

Specifies the space between the content of adjacent columns, in any valid CSS width unit, e.g., gap=2em. The default spacing (set by browser) is 1em.

|class=

An HTML class, or multiple space-delimited classes, to apply to the columns. For example, class=plainlist nowrap.

|style=

CSS styling to apply to the columns.

|small=yes

Sets font size to 90%.

|content=

Content to apply to the columns. This parameter is effectively equivalent to {{columns-list}}, which is a pass-through for this template.

Limitation

Sub-lists

The underlying CSS system is unable to break sub-lists into columns. Note the uneven formatting below:

{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em|style=column-count:3|content=
* a
* b
* c
** c.d
** c.e
** c.f
* g
* h
}}

Produces:

• a
• b
• c
  • c.d
  • c.e
  • c.f
• g
• h

Turning off the break-inside: avoid-column; rule appears to help.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData documentation for this template used by VisualEditor and other tools; see the monthly parameter usage report for this template.

TemplateData for Div col

Breaks a list into columns. It automatically breaks each column to an equal space, so you do not manually have to find the half way point on two columns. The list is provided by |content= or closed with {{div col end}}.
