Older versions of [[Internet Explorer]] (IE), especially versions 6 and 7 (commonly abbreviated IE6 and IE7) have limitations in their CSS and HTML support. As Wikipedia advancesexpands withits use of CSS3 and HTML5, support for these old browsers will become more limited, leaving older browsers unable to render a page as the editors intend. A number of specialized fixes for these older browsers are being removed as the MediaWiki software is being updated.

Where possible, users should upgrade to [[Internet Explorer 8]] or higher or install [[Firefox]], [[Google Chrome]], or otheranother modern browser. We understand that some users do not have a choice, either by limitations of their system, corporate policy, or compatibility with other software.

In some instances, {{yourcss}} can be edited (if you are logged in to Wikipedia with a username and password) to add some level of support.

** Issues: <code>column-width</code> property is only supported by IE10 and above

* Usage: {{tl|reflist}} for references; {{tl|div col}} for multiple columns

* Fix: none (except upgrading IE or using a different browser)

* Fix: none

==&lt;q>==

{{tag|q}} is used to mark a short quotation; CSS styles the content by placing it in quotesquotation marks in a normal font style.

* IE6 and IE7 do not add the quotation marks, and also style the content in italics.

**Issues:

*** <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> pseudo-elements are not supported
