A navigation box that presents its content in columns. Originally intended to provide a relatively straightforward means to align links prefixed by flag icons, e.g. in templates offering links to country articles.

[edit] Basic syntax

Only required parameters and width included.

{{Navigation with columns
|name  = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
|title = 
|cols  = (number of columns)
|width = (width of each column, preferably in a proportional unit such as 'em'*)
|col1  = 
|col2  = 
}}

* See Em (typography). Using proportional units means the template should still be displayed correctly across a range of browser font-sizes. If width not specified, a default 10em is used.
