This template displays quoted text in two columns. It is useful where text may be presented in original and translated versions.

Usage

This template may be added by copy-pasting the template as shown below into an article.

{{Quote2col
|width=
|lmargin
|bgcolor= 
|hdalign=
|gutter
|header= 
|quote1= 
|quote2= 
}}

Parameters

Parameter Explanation
width Set the table width in px, em or %

Please ensure that the result will be readable by people with color blindness, and those with visual disabilities. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines recommend a contrast ratio of at least 5:1 for text — use this Contrast ratio calculator to help determine if the colors you choose will be visible to everyone.

 And to live according our Law.
 |quote2=Ich verspreche bei meiner Ehre,
 dass ich mein Bestes tun will,
 Gott und meinem Vaterland zu dienen,
 meinen Mitmenschen zu helfen
 und nach unseren Gesetzen zu leben.
 }}
 

and appearance:

Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs

I promise on my honour
To do my best
To serve God and my country
To help my fellow people
And to live according our Law.

 

Ich verspreche bei meiner Ehre,
dass ich mein Bestes tun will,
Gott und meinem Vaterland zu dienen,
meinen Mitmenschen zu helfen
und nach unseren Gesetzen zu leben.

Example with fancy indenting

Here is a fancier example, which does indentation better when columns are very narrow, at the cost of more-complicated specification:

 {{quote2col
 |gutter=10px
 |lmargin=1em
 |quote1=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>ξεῖνε, Φιλίταϲ εἰμί·  λόγων ὁ ψευδόμενόϲ με</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>ὥλεϲε καὶ νυκτῶν φροντίδεϲ ἑϲπέριοι</div>
 |quote2=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|Xeîne, Philítas eimí. Lógōn ho pseudómenós me}}''</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|hṓlese kaì nyktôn phrontídes hespérioi}}''</div>
 }}

and appearance:

ξεῖνε, Φιλίταϲ εἰμί·  λόγων ὁ ψευδόμενόϲ με
ὥλεϲε καὶ νυκτῶν φροντίδεϲ ἑϲπέριοι
 
Xeîne, Philítas eimí. Lógōn ho pseudómenós me
hṓlese kaì nyktôn phrontídes hespérioi
