Template:Col-float
.svg){kind=link}
| File:Lua-Logo.svg | This template uses Lua: |
Side-by-side columns, based on CSS float.
This has the advantage of more cross-device-accessible behaviour, as (unlike HTML <table>s) they will wrap on display windows too narrow to show them side-by-side.

Parameters[change]
All optional and applicable to {{Col-float}} / {{Start col-float}} and {{Col-float-break}} / {{Break col-float}} except firstcol:
- firstcol (with Col-float or Start col-float only)
- nextcol
- width
- Width of the next – or, with Col-float/Start col-float, the first – column. IE-based browsers require a specified width, so defaults to 30.0em.
- class
- For any styling defined using classes.
- style
- For any additional styling.
{{Col-float}} can be used with numbered parameters for columns (i.e. |1= is the first column, |2= is the second, and so on). However, lists have to be preceded with <nowiki/> and a newline, and tables have to use {{!}}.

Column-generating template families[change]
| Caution | The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting. |
<section begin="table" />
| Family | Type | Handles wiki
table code?† |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Col" | Table | Yes | {{Col-begin}}, {{Col-begin-fixed}} or {{Col-begin-small}} |
{{Col-break}} or {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}} |
{{Col-end}} |
| "Col-float" | CSS float | Yes | {{Col-float}} | {{Col-float-break}} | {{Col-float-end}} |
| "Columns" | Table | No | {{Columns}} | – | – |
| "Columns-list" | CSS columns | Yes | {{Columns-list}} (wrapper) | – | – |
| "Columns-start" | CSS float | Yes | {{Columns-start}} | {{Column}} | {{Columns-end}} |
| "Div col" | CSS columns | Yes | {{Div col}} | – | {{Div col end}} |
† I.e., can the columns handle the wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) and/or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.<section end="table" />
