Side-by-side columns, based on [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets#Float and clear|CSS float]].

This has the advantage of more cross-device-accessible behaviour, as (unlike HTML <code><nowiki><table></nowiki></code>s) they will wrap on display windows too narrow to show them side-by-side.
{{Template:Column Templates Navbox}}

== Parameters ==

All optional and applicable to {{tl|Col-float}}{{\}}{{tl|Start col-float}} and {{tl|Col-float-break}}{{\}}{{tl|Break col-float}} except '''''firstcol''''':

{{hlist |'''''firstcol''''' {{resize|90%|(with Col-float or Start col-float only)}} |'''''nextcol''''' |''width''}}
: Width of the next – or, with Col-float/Start col-float, the first – column. IE-based browsers require a specified width, so defaults to 30.0em.
; ''class'' : For any [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|styling]] defined using [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets#Selector|classes]].
; ''style'' : For any additional styling.

{{tl|Col-float}} can be used with numbered parameters for columns (i.e. {{para|1}} is the first column, {{para|2}} is the second, and so on). However, lists have to be preceded with <code><nowiki/></code> and a newline, and tables have to use {{Tn|!}}.
