Templat:Col-end
|}
The {col-begin}, {col-break} and {col-end} templates control columns of text on a page:
- {col-begin}: starts a table (followed by {col-break} for 1st column)
- {col-break}: triggers the start of each column
- {col-end}: ends the multi-column table.
The widths of columns can be specified by using various additional codes. See below for examples.
Usage
- {col-begin|width=70%}: start table with width.
- {col-break|width=66%}: start column-1 as 66% wide.
- This is text in col-1.
- {col-break|width=33%}: start column-2 as 33% wide.
- Text column-2.
- {col-end}
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 Wikipedia: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|width=95%}
