Template:Col-4

| width="25%" align="left" valign="top" |

The Template:Col-4 sets column width for each of 4 columns.

The {{col-begin}}, {{col-break}} and {{col-end}} templates control columns of text on a page:

• {{Col-begin}} - starts a table (followed by {{Col-break}} for 1st column)
• {{Col-break}} - triggers the start of each column
• {{Col-end}} - ends the multi-column table.

The widths of columns can be specified by using various additional codes. See below for examples.

Usage

{{Col-begin|width=70%}} - start table with width.

{{Col-break|width=66%}} - start column-1 as 66% wide.

This is text in col-1.

{{Col-break|width=33%}} - start column-2 as 33% wide.

Text column-2.

{{Col-end}}

The table will have 2 columns, with column 1 twice (2x) 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}}
