Template:Listing/doc

	This is a documentation subpage for Template:Listing. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to create a multiple column list. It automatically breaks the available screen space into equal parts, meaning, for instance, that it is not necessary to guess how many columns to use and then figure out the dividing point(s), e.g., the halfway point to divide the list into two columns, or the one-third and two-thirds points to divide the list into three columns. The default value for the column width is 30em, to change this value use |colwidth=#.

Notice

This template uses CSS3 multiple column layout and is not supported by all Web browsers.
