View source for Module:Columns/doc

This module creates a list with automatically balanced columns. It should not be used directly in entries, but in templates such as {{temp|der2}} or {{temp|der3}}. List entries are given as parameters to the template.

==Examples==
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:columns|display|sort=1|collapse=1|columns=3|title=Derived terms}} -> {{der3|en|z|y|x|w|v|u|t}} </nowiki></code>
{{der3|en|z|y|x|w|v|u|t}}

* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:columns|display|sort=1|collapse=1|columns=2|title=Derived terms}} -> {{der2|nl|a|b|c|d|e|f|g}}</nowiki></code>
{{der2|nl|a|b|c|d|e|f|g}}
