Template:Columns-next
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Use this template immediately before a list, to divide the list into multiple columns that wrap the screen responsively. To prevent a section of a list being broken, the template {{no col break}} can be used.
This template was created to support editing of multi-column lists in VisualEditor as an alternative to {{Div col}} and {{Div col end}} (which use an unbalanced <div> element, which forces the intermediary content into source mode), and {{Columns-list}} (which takes the list as raw wikitext parameter).

† Can the template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) need to be used instead.
