Thanks to this module, you can put text into multiple columns of a specified width, similar to newspaper typesetting.
The module consists of several properties:
column-width: _column_width_;
column-count: _column_count_;
column-gap: _gap_between_columns_;
column-rule: _property_of_vertical_line_between_columns_;Apart from this “newspaper typesetting”, the module is also applicable to list items, image thumbnails and online store items.
Example
Let’s define a column width using the column-width: 15em declaration and
define a gap between the columns using column-gap: 2em.
You can see a vertical line example, column-rule: 1px dotted #ddd, at the link
below.
If you resize the browser window and there is not enough space for multiple columns, the browser itself will lose the multi-column layout.

Browser Support
IE10+. I recommend handling older browsers by using a hard fallback – in that case, the text will simply not form columns.
