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.
Basic syntax
Only required parameters and colwidth included.
{{Navbox with columns|name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}|title = |colwidth = <!--(to set a default width for 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 colwidth not specified, a default 10em is used.
