Template:Top

Note--hidden content above works only when included as is wikitable head end.

This template is a First of three needed column templates when desiring to display two formated columns side by side. It was adapted from a Wiktionary 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 a light yellow. The other templates listed below default to a transparent color instead of yellow.

Default parameters

border=0 width=100%
|-
|bgcolor="#FFFFE0" 

Default perameters may be overridden by expressing the matching named parameter.
{| border={{{border|0}}}  width={{{width|100%}}}
|-
|bgcolor={{bgColor|{{{bgcolor|"#FFFFE0"}}}}}} valign=top width=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.

Use Example shown below:
{{Top}}
*The first list of items, usually bulleted links
*2...
*3...
{{Mid}}
*The second list of items, usually bulleted links
*2...
*3...
{{Bottom}}

Appearance of above use

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}}
