On Columns

    There is one thing I’ve noticed about how columns are done using the plugin; doesn’t really work as the columns in word processors and DTP apps do. My suggestion…

    Along with the number of columns, the user gets to set the height of the columns in lines. So if there are three columns set to a height of 20 lines, then that is how many lines can be entered into a particular column. Additional lines are then placed in the first column to the right, and all formatting is carried over to the current column.

    Only when the right most column is full, and more material is added, do the columns expand to accommodate it.

    Hi, the intention of Sandwich with regards to columns was not to create word processor-like columns. Creating something like that currently would isn’t possible without the use of hackish javascript methods in the frontend since the “correct” way of doing it isn’t yet widely supported by browsers. See http://caniuse.com/#feat=multicolumn

    Instead, it is meant to behave, be a replacement of and visually represent column shortcodes (those that you need to type [one_half] and [one_half_last], [two_thirds], and so on).

    Which all means it would be difficult, not impossible. And if you happen to be the fellows how craft the javascript for it, think of the advantage you’d get.

    In Addition

    I found this page on doing text columns using CSS3. You do have to apply prefixes, but that shouldn’t be hard.
