{{CSS3 multiple column layout}}

{{tl|Div col}} (or {{tl|start div col}}), together with {{tl|div col end}} (or {{tl|end div col}}), is used to make a list into columns. It automatically breaks each column into an equal space, meaning, for instance, it isn't necessary to work out the halfway point between two columns. The template also offers options to set a smaller (90%) font-size ({{para|small|yes}}), place vertical lines ("rules") between the columns ({{para|rules}}) and to add other custom styling ({{para|style}}).

{{tl|Div col}} can create multiple columns in [[web browser]]s which support one of the following [[CSS]] properties:
* ''column-count'' (for [[Cascading Style Sheets#CSS 3|CSS3]] compliant browsers; see [http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/ CSS3 module: Multi-column layout])
* ''-moz-column-count'' (for [[Mozilla application framework|Mozilla]]/[[Gecko (layout engine)|Gecko]] based browsers such as [[Firefox]])
* ''-webkit-column-count'' (for [[WebKit]] based browsers such as [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] and [[Google Chrome]])

===Usage===
; {{s|{{para|cols}}}} {{nobold|or first unnamed parameter}} : ''(Now [[Deprecation|deprecated]],  as ''colwidth'' below is better suited to flexible formatting for a variety of display screen sizes (from mobile phones, tablets, etc to widescreen cinema-style displays))''<br/>Specifies the number of columns (default 2).
; {{para|colwidth}} {{nobold|or second unnamed parameter}} : Specifies the minimum width of the columns and determines automatically the number of columns based on screen width (i.e. more columns will be shown on wider displays). Overrides ''cols''.
; {{para|rules}} : Adds vertical lines ("rules") between the columns if set to <tt>yes</tt> or some CSS styling (e.g. <tt>1px dashed blue;</tt>).
; {{para|small}} : Specifies small font size (90%) if set to <tt>yes</tt>.
; {{para|style}} : CSS styling to apply to the columns.
