<p><em>Multi-Column Taxonomy List</em> is a plugin that allows you to list your categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into multiple columns.</p>
<p>This plugin is great to use on custom archives index pages to display all categories, tags, and custom taxonomies on a single page. You can also turn the list into links to the RSS feeds for your taxonomies.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Shortcode attributes</h4>
<p>You can implement a new list by adding the shortcode <code>[mctl]</code> to the content of a page.  By default, it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories.  You can customize the output using attributes in the following format: <code>[mctl taxonomy='post_tag' title='Tags']</code></p>

<h4>Template tag</h4>
<p>Alternatively, you can implement a new list by adding the the template tag <code><?php multi_column_tax_list(); ?></code> anywhere in the code of your theme. Just like the shortcode, by default it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories.  You can customize the output using a string of parameters in the following format: <code><?php multi_column_tax_list( 'taxonomy=post_tag&title=Tags' ); ?></code></p>
<p>Refer to the above attributes for customizations.</p>
