Column-generating template families


 * Div col and Div col end for CSS columns instead of tables
 * plainlist creates an ul and adds li tags to each line. It requires a star on each line in wiki source.
 * The poem extension generates a p tag with a br tag at end of each line. colbegin + poem works, but adds extra space before 1st column (because of p tag).
 * plainlist + colbegin works.


 * flatlist for an inline list
