Module:Columns/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:Columns

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

Examples

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

Template:Der3

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