Numbered lists, if spread over multiple columns, will restart the numbering from one in each column. There is no way to specify a starting value in wikisyntax, so HTML has to be used. This template automates the process so one doesn't have to write the HTML by hand. In most cases, multi-column lists should be specified using {{Columns-list}} instead, which is more compatible and responsive.
Syntax
{{Multi-column numbered list|start 1|<li> item 1a</li> ...|start 2|<li> item 1b</li> ...}}
Example
{{Multi-column numbered list|1|{{#tag:li|a}}{{#tag:li|b}}{{#tag:li|c}}|5|{{#tag:li|x}}{{#tag:li|y}}{{#tag:li|z}}}}
