Function

Purpose

Presents a list of items in columns so that the number of items in each column is the same or only differs by 1.

Limitations

Number of items

The maximum number of items is 50.

Column balancing

Column balancing does not allow for inconsistent text wrap of items, and text wrap can disturb column depth balancing.

If there is an equivalent number of text wrap new lines in each column then the columns will remain balanced.

Missing items

Items missing from within the list of items are treated as items and a blank position will be displayed in the column where the missing item would otherwise appear.

Usage

Skeleton

{{balanced columns list
|title    = 
|heading  = 
|columns  = 
|collapse = 
|item1
(...up to 50...)
}}

Parameters

Named parameters:

  • title, optional, title for the table of items, any content
  • heading, optional, heading for each column of items in the table, any content
  • column, optional, number of columns over which items are to be balanced, defaults to 3, any greater than 0
  • collapse, optional, as per wiki class collapse.
