HTMLSPEC-MULTICOL

Multicol

Usage

Used to support multicolumn text. <multicol> differs from the <table> element in that <multicol> allows text to continue from one column to another. All <multicol> columns must be the same width.

Attributes

cols="#"

Specifies the number of columns to be included. (required)

gutter="#"

Specifies the number of pixels separating the columns.

width="#"

Specifies the width of pixels of each column.

Code Tip

The <multicol> element has limited features compared to the <table> element. In most cases, the <table> element would provide greater efficiency when dealing with organizing columns of text.

Live Example

<html>
<head><title>MULTICOL Document Example</title></head>
<body>
<multicol cols="2" gutter="10">
This text will flow from one column to the next with ten pixel values dividing the two columns.
</multicol>
</body>
</html>
