{{hatnote|See also: [[Help:Advanced table features#Side-by-side columns of tables, images, lists]]. '''Straight divs''' (not part of templates) work on desktop monitors. More than one column will show up in cell phones too if the columns are narrow enough. Straight divs will do almost everything the templates below do, and do it better. And they comply with [[MOS:LTAB]].}}<br />
'''The templates listed here are not interchangeable'''. For example, using {{tl|col-float}} with {{tl|col-end}} instead of {{tl|col-float-end}} would leave a {{tag|div|link=yes}} open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.<br />
*"'''Responsive/mobile suited'''" refers to whether more than one column will show up in cell phones. See tests '''[[User:Timeshifter/Sandbox318. Narrow tables in 2 columns|here]].''' Some templates need to be updated to work in cell phones too. Please use mobile-suited templates, or straight divs. For why, see '''[[WP:Access]].''' See '''[[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2026 September 25#Template:Col-begin|discussion.]]'''<br />
