This is a documentation subpage for Template:Column-count.
In most cases it contains usage information, example, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Note: Columns are currently supported only by newer versions of Gecko-based browsers (such as Mozilla Firefox) and WebKit-based browsers (such as Google Chrome and Safari). All versions of Internet Explorer through to version 9 and Opera through to version 11.0 do not support columns. See here for more information.
This template is a shortcut for producing columns using CSS (more info). It generates the CSS for various browsers. Supported browsers are the current versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Usage
Insert this template within a style tag of any block-style element:
{{column-count | [number of columns]}}
The default number of columns is 2.
Example
<div style="{{column-count|3}}">Lorem ipsum...</div>will produce:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
