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. {{tl|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 browser]]s which support one of the following [[CSS]] properties:
* ''column-count'' (for [[Cascading Style Sheets#CSS 3|CSS3]] compliant browsers; see [http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/ CSS3 module: Multi-column layout])
* ''-moz-column-count'' (for [[Mozilla application framework|Mozilla]]/[[Gecko (layout engine)|Gecko]] based browsers such as [[Firefox]])
* ''-webkit-column-count'' (for [[WebKit]] based browsers such as [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] and [[Google Chrome]])

Multiple columns are generated by using [[Cascading Style Sheets|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 <tt>cols=</tt> setting.
; small =: Specifies small font size (90%) if set to <tt>yes</tt>.
; style =: Specify any custom styling.

=== Examples ===
<pre>{{Div col}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}</pre>

;Produces:
{{Div col}}

{{Div col end}}

<pre>{{Div col|cols=3}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}</pre>

;Produces:
{{Div col|cols=3}}
* a
* b
* c

{{Div col end}}

<pre>{{Div col|colwidth=10em}}
* a
* b
* c

{{Div col end}}

<pre>{{Div col|small=yes}}
