column-span property

The column-span property specifies a number of columns that an element in multi-column text should span. The property value is either the number 1 or the all keyword. With a value of 1 the element will span one column, and with a value of all - all columns.

Syntax

selector {
	column-span: 1 | all;
}

Default value: 1.

Example

In this example, the title will fall inside the first column:

<div id="elem">
	<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet eu metus non</h2>
	some long text
</div>

#elem h2 {
	column-span: 1;
	margin: 0;
}
#elem {
	column-count: 3;
	text-align: justify;
}

Example

And now the title will stretch across all columns:

<div id="elem">
	<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet eu metus non</h2>
	some long text
</div>

#elem h2 {
	column-span: all;
	margin: 0;
}
#elem {
	column-count: 3;
	text-align: justify;
}
