The {{col-begin}}, {{col-break}} and {{col-end}} templates control columns of text on a page:
The widths of columns can be specified by using various additional codes. See below for examples.
The table will have two columns, with column 1 twice (2×) the width of column 2.
A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border—for example, as in Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wrap-up and more info)—the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:
{{col-begin|width=95%}} |- | Left column | Right column |} |
{{Col-begin}} {{Col-2}} Column 1 here {{Col-2}} Column 2 here {{Col-end}} |
{{Col-begin}} {{Col-3}} Column 1 here {{Col-3}} Column 2 here {{Col-3}} Column 3 here {{Col-end}} |
{{Col-begin}} {{Col-4}} Column 1 here {{Col-4}} Column 2 here {{Col-4}} Column 3 here {{Col-4}} Column 4 here {{Col-end}} |
and so on, up to {{Col-5}} |
{{Col-begin|class=references-small}} {{Col-break}} Column 1 here {{Col-break}} Column 2 here {{Col-break}} Column 3 here {{Col-break}} Column 4 here {{Col-break}} Column 5 here {{Col-break}} Column 6 here {{Col-end}} |
{{Top}} Column 1 here {{Mid}} Column 2 here {{Bottom}} |
{{Columns-start|num=3}} Column 1 here {{Column}} Column 2 here {{Column}} Column 3 here {{Columns-end}} |
{{Multicol}} Column 1 here {{Multicol-break}} Column 2 here {{Multicol-break}} Column 3 here {{Multicol-break}} Column 4 here {{Multicol-end}} |
