 Page Information
|
| This is a documentation subpage for the MultiColListItem template. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Intro
This template is not intended to be used by itself. It is part of a set of three templates that are used to create free-flowing, multi-column lists for use with dynamic lists created by the Semantic Wiki. The three templates in this set are Template:MultiColListTop, Template:MultiColListItem, and Template:MultiColListBottom.
Usage
To use this set in your semantic query output, use the following lines in your query:
| headers = hide | format = template | template = MultiColListItem | introtemplate = MultiColListTop | outrotemplate = MultiColListBottom
This will provide a 400 pixel wide, two-column list. You can control the width and number of columns by adding parameters to the the introtemplate line, like this:
| introtemplate = MultiColListTop{{!}}600{{!}}3
This will provide a three-column list, 600 pixels wide. Depending on the material you are listing, you can control both the width and number of columns to create a decent-looking list.
Notes
The list will appear in a floating box, and text will wrap around it. Make sure you test your page to prevent some wacky layouts. You can encapsulate the list inside a table to prevent the odd wrapping. (I'm no expert at HTML/CSS, so I don't know enough about it to fix that.)
