<div class="references-small" {{#if: {{{colwidth|}}}| style="-moz-column-width:{{{colwidth}}}; column-width:{{{colwidth}}};" | {{#if: {{{1|}}}| style="-moz-column-count:{{{1}}}; column-count:{{{1}}} }}};" |}}>

 

Use this template to create a reference list in an article (unlike [[Template:Reference]], '''Reflist''' doesn't include the ''References'' heading, thereby making the syntax easier to read). For Example:

 

<pre>

 

Lorem ipsum.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>

 

 

 

{{reflist}}

 

 

== Multiple columns ==

 

Using <tt><nowiki>{{reflist|2}}</nowiki></tt> will create a two-column reference list, and <tt><nowiki>{{reflist|3}}</nowiki></tt> will create a three-column list.

 

Using <tt><nowiki>{{reflist|colwidth=30em}}</nowiki></tt> will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser.  Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.

 

Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in [[Mozilla Firefox]].<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2006-11-24|title=CSS3 Multi-Column Thriller|url=http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css3_multi-column_thriller.html}}</ref>, though the feature is included in [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS3]], so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol|title=CSS3 module: Multi-column layout|publisher=[[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]]|date=2005-12-15|accessdate=2006-11-24}}</ref>
