Column-generating template families

Caution:

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Family	Type	Handles wiki table code?	Responsive/ Mobile suited	Start template	Column divider	End template
"Col"	Table	Yes	Yes	{{Col-begin}}, {{Col-begin-fixed}} or {{Col-begin-small}}	{{Col-break}} or {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}}	{{Col-end}}
"Col-float"	CSS float	Yes	Yes	{{Col-float}}	{{Col-float-break}}	{{Col-float-end}}
"Columns"	Table	No	Yes	{{Columns}}	–	–
"Columns-list"	CSS columns	Yes	Yes	{{Columns-list}} (wrapper)	–	–
"Columns-start"	CSS float	Yes	Yes	{{Columns-start}}	{{Column}}	{{Columns-end}}
"Flex columns"	CSS flexbox	Yes	Yes	{{Flex columns}}	–	–
"Div col"	CSS columns	Yes	Yes	{{Div col}}	–	{{Div col end}}

I.e., can the columns handle the wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}}) or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.) will need to be used instead.
