== Usage ==
{{template shortcut|vad}}
This template can be used to control the width of an item's prefix in a vertical list. Although most applicable to lists sorted by date, the template technically can be used to control the width of any text, since it's basically a span tag wrapped in a template.

{{col-break|width=30%}}
