This template is a First of three needed column templates when desiring to display two formatted columns side by side.

It was adapted from a Template:Wpd template set with the same names.

• It must be used with {{Mid}}  and {{Bottom}} to form a complete table of two columns.

The additional parameter (either) bgcolor or bgColor can be defined to change the default color of the template display, from the default "Transparent" color. Such an override must be applied to both {{Top}} and  {{mid}} as well... or one gets columns of two different colors.

Default parameters

Note on the relationship between the two width parameters "width" and "width2": a width of 1% always occupies a center (empty) column, so
width (outer) must be set to satisfy the relation: width >= (2 * width2 + 1%)

border=0 (none) width=100% (overall width) width2=48% (see below, each column's width)
|-
|bgcolor= was once "#FFFFE0" (a [[web color|light yellow]]), now "transparent", 
          so takes on the page background color, whatever that may be.

Default perameters may be overridden by expressing the matching named parameter.
{| border={{{border|0}}}  width={{{width|100%}}}
|-
|bgcolor={{bgColor|{{{bgcolor|"#FFFFE0"}}}}}} valign=top width={{{width2|48%}}}|
... data within table
...
Parameters are:
bgColor or bgcolor affecting bgcolor
border             affecting border style, including color, width, etc.
width              affecting overall width, within which the inner column width is applied.
width2             setting the inner column width, should also apply same value to {{Mid}}.

Use Example shown below:
{{Top}}
*The first list of items, usually bulleted links
*2...
*3...
{{Mid}} <!-- Mid must be placed in the wrap point of the table... 
        half or so above, half or so below. Contrast with {{Top2}} below.
*The second list of items, usually bulleted links
*2...
*3...
{{Bottom}}

Appearance of above example

• The first list of items, usually bulleted links
• 2...
• 3...

• The second list of items, usually bulleted links
• 2...
• 3...

The following usage is transcluded from Template:Lts

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.

The {{col-begin}} and {{col-end}} codes let you make columns of text in your wikipedia article. You can vary the widths and numbers of columns by using various additional codes. See below for examples!

Usage

A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border — for example, as in Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wrap-up and more info) — the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:

{{col-begin|width=95%}} |- | Left column | Right column |}

{{Col-begin}}
{{Col-2}}
Column 1 here
{{Col-2}}
Column 2 here
{{Col-end}}

{{Col-begin}}
{{Col-3}}
Column 1 here
{{Col-3}}
Column 2 here
{{Col-3}}
Column 3 here
{{Col-end}}

{{Col-begin}}
{{Col-4}}
Column 1 here
{{Col-4}}
Column 2 here
{{Col-4}}
Column 3 here
{{Col-4}}
Column 4 here
{{Col-end}}

and so on, up to {{Col-7}}

{{Col-begin|class=references-small}}
{{Col-break}}
Column 1 here
{{Col-break}}
Column 2 here
{{Col-break}}
Column 3 here
{{Col-break}}
Column 4 here
{{Col-break}}
Column 5 here
{{Col-break}}
Column 6 here
{{Col-end}}

{{Top}}
Column 1 here
{{Mid}}
Column 2 here
{{Bottom}}

{{Columns-start|num=3}}
Column 1 here
{{Column}}
Column 2 here
{{Column}}
Column 3 here
{{Columns-end}}

{{Multicol}}
Column 1 here
{{Multicol-break}}
Column 2 here
{{Multicol-break}}
Column 3 here
{{Multicol-break}}
Column 4 here
{{Multicol-end}}
