CSS - column-span

The column-span CSS property makes it possible for an element to span across all columns when its value is set to all. An element that spans more than one column is called a spanning element.

Example

CSS

Copy Code

h1, h2 {
  column-span: all;
}

Syntax

CSS

Copy Code

column-span: none;
column-span: all;

/* Global values */
column-span: inherit;
column-span: initial;
column-span: unset;

Values

none: The element does not span multiple columns.
all: The element spans across all columns. Content in the normal flow that appears before the element is automatically balanced across all columns before the element appears. The element establishes a new block formatting context.
