This template is used to make a list into columns, with the option of specifying a smaller font. It has the advantage over other column templates (i.e. {{col-begin}}) that it automatically breaks each column to an equal space, so you do not manually have to find the "half way" point on two columns, for instance.

This template can create multiple columns in web browsers which support one of the following CSS properties:

Multiple columns are generated by using CSS3, thus only browsers that properly support the multi-column property will show multiple columns.

Usage

cols =
Specifies the number of columns. Defaults to 2 columns.
colwidth =
Specifies the width of columns, and determines dynamically the number of columns based on screen width; more columns will be shown on wider displays. This overrides the cols= setting.
small =
Specifies small font size (90%) if set to yes.
style =
Specify any custom styling.
