This template is intended to be used in a list in the article itself, rather than in a navigation template like Template:Navbox. Based on Template:Reflist, but different in that the text to be displayed is manually created rather than a list of references.

{{columns-list|number of columns|
text (usually a list)
}}

If the number of columns is omitted, two columns will be used.

This template uses CSS3 multiple column layout and is not supported by all browsers.

{{columns-list|2|
  * [[George Washington]]
  * [[John Adams]]
  * [[Thomas Jefferson]]
  * [[James Madison]]
  * [[James Monroe]]
 }}

 {{columns-list|2;width:400px;font-style:italic|
  * [[New York, I Love You]]
  * [[Hōtai Club]]
  * [[The Kon Ichikawa Story]]
  * [[Rainbow Song]]
  * [[Hana and Alice|Hana & Alice]]
  * [[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]
  * [[April Story]]
  * [[Swallowtail Butterfly (film)|Swallowtail Butterfly]]
  * [[Picnic (1996 film)|Picnic]]
  * [[Fried Dragon Fish]]
 }}

which would render as
