This should try to fill two columns with available text from this division from whatever is here and to balance the content between the columns. First we specify the number of columns and then we say to fill them in the balanced way with whatever elements are within the division. The style sheet uses an ID attribute of the division.
I have been wanting this kind of feature since I first heard about multicolumn layout, since it is the sort of thing you'd see in a book. It comes from a module in CSS3. I know that it works because I loaded a demo that worked.
I have a heading outside the division that should try to use the space provided for the body, which has right and left margins, and these should also constrain the division which should contain two columns. I will set the text alignment for the paragraphs to justify so I can see the "gutter" or column padding. I can see the padding between the columns. It also floats quite nicely with font resizing. I need to try this in Firefox. It worked the same there as in Chrome.
This produces a two column, and the balancing does split the paragraph elements when it has to. It is good enough.
This is realy quite pleasing for the eye. I have chosen black Helvetica against a lemon yellow background, that I had to paste in as the hex code from a color picker. That way I am sure that my hosting site will render the color. One is never quite sure with color names.And staying away from Cafe Barrone; they will eventually notice that I, who has been regular for a long time am not around very much or at all, and figure out that it is because they raised the price of a cup of coffee by 30% in one fell swoop, a margin which their otherwise exhorbitant prices could easily subsidize. I also have no illusion that I matter very much except that I am well-known.
Yesterday and Saturday were wet and cold, but it hasn't bothered me too much and I rather enjoy the relative quiet of Starbucks and the coffee is potable with addition of cream and sugar. It is $1.40 and 50 cents the refill as opposed to Barrone's $1.80 and 75 cents or more the refill. I have long since cut back getting anything else there to at most once a week, $9 for a bowel of soup, indeed.
