Template:Col-float


Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Side-by-side columns, based on CSS float.

This has the advantage of more cross-device-accessible behaviour, as (unlike HTML <table>s) they will wrap on display windows too narrow to show them side-by-side.

Parameters

Defaults to 30em, as IE-based browsers don't float correctly unless width is explicitly specified
  • class optional
Embed any class identifiers wished
  • style optional
Force extra CSS styling.
Placed after the existing styles, so anything implicit can be over-ruled.

File:Dagger-14-plain.png i.e. can the columns handle the wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) and/or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc) will need to be used instead.
