    People have trouble reading text if lines are too long; if it takes too long for the eyes to move from the end of the one line to the beginning of the next, they lose track of which line they were on. Therefore, to make maximum use of a large screen, authors should have limited-width columns of text placed side by side, just as newspapers do.

    Use break-inside on specific elements to keep them from getting stuck between columns.

    The CSS multi-column layout uses new CSS properties which allow designers to break a layout into blocks. The two main properties which control the number of columns are: column-count and column-width.

    With just a few CSS rules, you can create a print-inspired layout that has the flexibility of the web. It’s like taking a newspaper, but as the paper gets smaller, the columns will adjust and balance automatically allowing the content to flow naturally.

    #col {
    -moz-column-count: 2;

    The column-count property specifies the number of columns an element should be divided into.

    The following example will divide the text in the <div> element into 3 columns:

    Example
    div {
    -webkit-column-count: 3; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-column-count: 3; /* Firefox */
    column-count: 3;
    }

    Reading very long lines of text can be problematic for some people. They will have to focus more on not missing a line instead of the text itself. This problem is easily solved by using multiple columns to lay out the content.

    The CSS Multi-column Layout Module features enable us to recreate the same kind of multi-column effect on websites. The CSS multi-column layout extends the block layout mode to allow the easy definition of multiple columns of text.

    Flexbox is a new layout mode in CSS3.
    Use of flexbox ensures that elements behave predictably when the page layout must accommodate different screen sizes and different display devices. Disadvantages: Does not work in IE10 and earlier.
    Learn more about flexbox in our CSS Flexbox chapter.

    Column layout helps to found the no of columns, gap between columns and specify how to fill columns.

    Columns can be applied to a single element or applied to multiple elements by targeting their parent. In the image below, the left side depicts CSS column rules being applied to the second paragraph to transform just that content into columns.
