Description: An extension to easily create tables whose columns have equal lengths (or nearly so), especially for tables that are updated often.
Filename: exfAutoColumn.php

Please put any bugs or feature requests on the talk page.
Contents |
[edit] Format
<table [parameters]> <autocolumn [parameters]> [single list of content to be automatically divided] </autocolumn> </table>
[edit] Parameters
The parameters in the <table> tag are the normal table parameters, and are optional.
The available <autocolumn> parameters are listed below. Each one is optional.
cols– the number of columns (the default is 2)width– the remaining parameters are normal cell parametersalignvalign– "top" is the default valueclassstyle
You cannot have fewer than 2 columns (unless there is only 1 item in the list), nor can you have more columns than total items in the list. The function removes all extra white space between the tags and then formats each column according to standard wiki markup rules.
[edit] Known limitations
- Automatic text replacement (for example, when signing using tildes (~~~~)) is not supported. This feature will be included when we upgrade to MediaWiki 1.6.
[edit] Variations
- You can use wiki table markup (
{| ... |}) instead of HTML (see gallery sample 1). - You can have a header row (see gallery sample 1).
- You can stack
<autocolumn>rows within the same table (see gallery sample 2). - If the entire list is an ordered list (each line begins with a
#and has no subitems), it will be correctly numbered across the columns (see gallery sample 3).
[edit] Example
<table width="80%"> <autocolumn cols="3" width="33%"> *'''Debut:''' [[some kinda robot]] *[[i she be]] *[[guitar]] *[[island]] *[[japanese cartoon]] *[[personal favorites]] *[[different town]] *[[radio]] *[[rock opera]] *[[technology]] </autocolumn> </table>
