[edit] Usage

Use this template to create a reference list in an article.

If used with no parameters, it will simply produce a reference list in a small font.

[edit] Multiple columns

Using {{reflist|2}} will create a two-column reference list, and {{reflist|3}} will create a three-column list.

Using {{reflist|colwidth=30em}} will allow the browser to automatically choose the number of columns based on the width of the web browser. Choose a column width that's appropriate for the average width of the references on the page.

Note: multiple columns currently render properly only in Mozilla Firefox,^[1] though the feature is included in CSS3, so it should work for a larger number of browsers in the future.^[2]
