Question

Columns - Just for containers?

Are columns limited to just the containers?  I have a single textarea (read:container) that has text, but rather than all of the text being in columns, I only want certain paragraphs.  For this to happen, do I have to convert the user selection to a new container before it can be in columns?

I'll have to do further investigation into the div element.  It looks like it might work for what I'm trying to do.  Thank you!

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that <div> would help you at this time.  I was writing about possible future implementations.

In the current implementation column properties on <div> have no effect on the rendering.

Apologies for creating confusion!

My apologies for misunderstanding.  The columns will just have to wait then.  I might just cheat at the moment and use tabs to align the text as needed.  Thanks for the information!

Just for containers at this time.

Looking forward there's a couple of things we can do - implement tables - apply column properties to div elements.

Unless the text is static what you want to do is going to be very difficult.
