{{Columns-list}} is for use in a list in the body of an article, rather than in a navigation template like {{Navbox}}. Based on {{Reflist}}, but different in that the text to be displayed is manually created rather than a list of references.

Use

The width of each column may be specified using colwidth and a value in ems.

{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|
* ''Text''
* ''(usually a list)''
}}

Here, colwidth specifies the width of the columns, and determines dynamically the number of columns based on screen width; more columns will be shown on wider displays.

If colwidth is not specified, the default width of 30em will be used.

This template uses CSS3 multiple-column layout, which is not supported by all Web browsers.

Examples

Here is an example:

{{Columns-list|colwidth=35em|
* [[George Washington]]
* [[John Adams]]
* [[Thomas Jefferson]]
* [[James Madison]]
* [[James Monroe]]
}}

which would render as:

CSS styles can also be added in addition to the colwidth parameter. For example:

{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|style=width: 600px; font-style: italic;|
* [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]
* [[April Story]]
* [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]
* [[Hōtai Club]]
* [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]
* [[Love Letter (1995 film)|Love Letter]]
* [[New York, I Love You]]
* [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
* [[Rainbow Song]]
* [[Swallowtail (film)|Swallowtail]]
}}

Which would render as:
