Template:Navigation with columns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
{{{title}}}
A navigation box that presents its content in columns. Originally intended to provide a relatively straightforward means to align links prefixed by flag icons, e.g. in templates offering links to country articles.
[edit] Basic syntax
Only required parameters and width included.
{{Navigation with columns
|name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
|title =
|cols = (number of columns)
|width = (width of each column, preferably in a proportional unit such as 'em'*)
|col1 =
|col2 =
}}
* See Em (typography). Using proportional units means the template should still be displayed correctly across a range of browser font-sizes. If width not specified, a default 10em is used.
