{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Column/styles.css}}<br />
The {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Columns-start}} template and its sibling templates {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Column}} and {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Columns-end}} can be used to make a fixed number of columns (up to five) that will span the width of the page above a certain minimum width, (100 [[wikipedia:Em (typography)#CSS|em]] for five columns, 80 for four, 60 for two or three). Below the minimum width, each column starting from the right will gracefully wrap to appear beneath another one of the columns.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The examples below are using the templates directly, so you can see what will happen if the minimum size is reached.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
{{Columns-start|num=4}}<br />
<pre style="width: fit-content;">{{Columns-start}}<br />

=== Parameters ===<br />
{{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Columns-start}} accepts these parameters:<br />
; {{Para|num}} : Set the number of columns. Defaults to 2. The template will work with up to 5 columns. More than that should prefer a custom implementation or another solution (such as a wikitable for tabular content or {{tl|div col}} for list content).<br />
; {{Para|class}} : Apply another class to the set of columns, such as <code>hlist</code>. Default is none.<br />
; {{Para|bgcolor}} : Set a background color. Default is transparent.<br />
; {{Para|width}} : Set a total width in which all columns must appear. Default is 100%.<br />
<br />
{{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Column}} has the same parameters where it is used as a "wrapper" template with numbered columns. For example:<br />
<br />
{{Columns-start|num=2}}<br />
<pre style="width: fit-content;"><br />
{{Column|num=2|1=<br />
Column 1 here<br />
|2=<br />
Column 2 here<br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
{{Column}}<br />
<pre style="width: fit-content;"><br />
{{Column|num=3|<br />
Column 1 here<br />
|<br />
Column 2 here<br />
|<br />
Column 3 here<br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
{{Columns-end}}<br />
<br />
In the second example, be aware of the possible problem with a column that includes an equals sign. See [[wikipedia:Help:Templates#Equals]] for more information.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Column}} must be used as above with {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Columns-start}}.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
This is an example from [[wikipedia:List of Indonesia-related topics|List of Indonesia-related topics]] on English Wikipedia:<br />
{{Columns-start|num=4}}<br />

=== Limitations ===<br />
Using headings inside {{Template link general|brace=on|plaincode=on|Column}} in its wrapper form functions so long as there is some content beneath the second (and any subsequent) heading(s). Secondly, headings will not carry an edit link. The table below may wrap (i.e. not display as columns) but displays the issue.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! scope="col" | Content<br />
! scope="col" | Functional but missing edit links<br />
! scope="col" | Non-functional (missing content)<br />
|-<br />
| Wikitext<br />
| <pre style="width: fit-content;"><br />
{{Column|1=<br />
==== Example heading 1 ====<br />
ABC<br />
|2=<br />
==== Example heading 2 ====<br />
DEF<br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
| <pre style="width: fit-content;"><br />
{{Column|1=<br />
==== Example heading 3 ====<br />
|2=<br />
==== Example heading 4 ====<br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
