Template:Reflist
From Self-sufficiency
Revision as of 09:11, 22 November 2006 by Interiot (Talk) (→Multiple columns: note that CSS3 means multiple columns will be more widely available)
Usage
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:
== Content ==
Lorem ipsum.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.<ref>Source name, access date, etc.</ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
Multiple columns
Using {{reflist|2}} will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}} will create a three-column list.
Using {{reflist|colwidth=30em}} 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. [1], though the feature is included in CSS3, so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future. [2]
