Text columns
Columns in printed media, such as newspa-
pers and magazines, make text easier to read
by keeping the line length to an optimal 10-
15 words. With
CSS2
, the only way to create
columns of text is to split the content among
multiple elements and then position them on
the page. This causes issues when updating
the content, because you have to make sure
it remains balanced, and when reading it,
because nothing in the markup indicates that
the two elements share a common text
source.
CSS3
adds the ability to render any
element across multiple columns, solving
both issues. You'll learn how in this section.

<body>
<p>I never am really
satisfied...</p>
<p>In almost every
computation...</p>
</body>
