{{Caution|1='''The templates listed here are not interchangeable'''. For example, using {{tl|Multicol}} with {{tl|col-end}} instead of {{tl|Multicol-end}} would leave a [[HTML]] [[Span and div|"div" (division)]] open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.}}

{{sup|{{dagger}}}} I.e. can the columns handle the [[Help:Wiki markup|wiki markup]] <nowiki>{|  |  ||  |-  |}</nowiki> [[Help:Tables|used to create tables]]? If not, templates that produce these elements (such as {{tl|(!}}, {{tl|!}}, {{tl|!!}}, {{tl|!-}}, {{tl|!)}}) and/or [[HTML element|HTML tags]] ({{tag|table}}, {{tag|tr}}, etc.) will need to be used instead.
