<multicol>

container
start tag	required
end tag	required

The first time I saw this tag was in Netscape 3.0b5. However, in a later Netscape publication it was listed as starting in 1.0. help

The <MULTICOL> tag is a container, and all the HTML between the starting and ending tag will be displayed in multi-column format. The tag can be nested, although multi-column text within multi-column text quickly becomes unreadable.

cols=

0.9

1.2

The COLS attribute is mandatory and controls how many columns the display will be split into. Layout will attempt to flow elements evenly across the columns to make each column have about the same height.

Unless the WIDTH attribute is specified, column width is adjusted to fill the available view. (Netscape 30.b5)
<multicol cols="2">The text above...</multicol>

gutter=

0.9

1.2

The GUTTER attribute controls the pixels of space between columns. It defaults to a value of 10. (Netscape 30.b5)

This column structure has a gutter of 20 pixels. <multicol cols="2" gutter="20">The text above...</multicol>

width=

0.9

1.2

The WIDTH attribute controls the width of an individual column. All columns are always the same width, so the overall width of a multi-column layout is: (cols * width) + ((cols -1) * gutter) (Netscape 30.b5)
<multicol cols="2" gutter="15" width="300"><font size="-1">The text above...</font></multicol>
