Use this template to start a multi-column section of a page. For example:

 {{MultiCol}}
 This text appears in the first column.
 {{ColBreak}}
 This text appears in the second column.
 {{ColBreak}}
 This text appears in the third column.
 {{EndMultiCol}}

This template has one optional parameter: The width of the table used to implement the columns. This can be an absolute value (e.g., 12cm) or a percentage of the page width (e.g., 50%). This parameter defaults to 100%. For example, to create a multi-column section of a page that is only 50% the width of the page, do this:

 {{MultiCol|50%}}
 This text appears in the first column.
 {{ColBreak}}
 This text appears in the second column.
 {{ColBreak}}
 This text appears in the third column.
 {{EndMultiCol}}

The multi-column region is always positioned on the left of the page. To change this, place the above Wikitext in a DIV block that has the CSS attribute text-align set to either center or right.
