Hi Everyone,

I am migrating a popular wiki to MediaWiki: http://ArduinoInfo.Info

I have done a LOT of searching for this and I'm not finding a solution.

I simply want to create 3 columns on a wiki page, and be able to put content in them. The reason is I have 3 major categories in my main introduction page and I want to add content and links to each column.

How can I do this? What am I missing? Trying to use a table seems very difficult to manage.

Text oriented software like WORD handles this, of course, as does DreamWeaver etc..

WikiPedia seems to support this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Columns

Suggestions and comments welcome!! Here's my start on the main page:

English Wikipedia uses templates for that, so you could (try to) copy these templates to your wiki. I don't think that MediaWiki itself currently offers some markup command to create such CSS based, non table based layouts.

Hi.

Thanks@Malyacko ! I have it basically working using tables. See: http://arduinoinfo.mywikis.net/wiki/HOME

I THINK it will be OK; It took a while to understand how to control the column widths, and to 'discover' that the widths are RELATIVE to the "Available screen width" of the particular user.

Wow. I feel 10% less stupid than I did this morning....
