CSS Multi-column Layout Module Level 2

(This section is not normative.)

This module describes multi-column layout in CSS. By using functionality described in this document, style sheets can declare that the content of an element is to be laid out in multiple columns.

Other layout methods in CSS, when applied to a parent element, change the display properties of the direct children. For example if a three column grid layout is created, the direct children of the grid container become grid items and are placed into the column tracks, one element per cell with additional rows created as needed.

The child elements of a multi-column container however continue in normal flow, that flow is arranged into a number of columns. These columns have a flexible inline size, and therefore respond to available space by changing the size or number of columns displayed.

Multi-column layouts are easy to describe in CSS. Here is a simple example:

body { column-width: 12em }

In this example, the body element is set to have columns at least 12em wide. The exact number of columns will depend on the available space.

The number of columns can also be set explicitly in the style sheet:

body { column-count: 2 }

In this case, the number of columns is fixed and the column widths will vary depending on the available width.

The shorthand columns property can be used to set either, or both, properties in one declaration.

In these examples, the number of columns, the width of columns, and both the number and width are set, respectively:

body { columns: 2 }
body { columns: 12em }
body { columns: 2 12em }

Another group of properties introduced in this module describe gaps and rules between columns.

body {
  column-gap: 1em;
  column-rule: thin solid black;
}

The first declaration in the example above sets the gap between two adjacent columns to be 1em. Column gaps are similar to padding areas. In the middle of the gap there will be a rule which is described by the column-rule property.

The values of the column-rule property are similar to those of the CSS border properties. Like border, column-rule is a shorthand property.

In this example, the shorthand

declaration from the above example has been expanded:

body {
  column-gap: 1em;
  column-rule-width: thin;
  column-rule-style: solid;
  column-rule-color: black;
}

The column-fill and column-span properties give style sheets a wider range of visual expressions in multi-column layouts.

In this example, columns are set to be balanced, i.e., to have approximately the same length. Also,

elements are set to span across all columns.

div { column-fill: balance }
h2 { column-span: all }

This specification introduces ten new properties, all of which are used in the examples above.

If all column properties have their initial value, the layout of an element will be identical to a multi-column layout with only one column.

(diagonal hatching) and

are shown in this sample rendition of a multi-column container with padding (cross hatching). The hatched areas are present for illustrational purposes only. In actual implementations these areas will be determined by the background, the second image shows a rendering of a

with column-rules.

This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions from [CSS21] using the value definition syntax from [CSS-VALUES-3]. Value types not defined in this specification are defined in CSS Values & Units [CSS-VALUES-3]. Combination with other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types.

In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions, all properties defined in this specification also accept the CSS-wide keywords as their property value. For readability they have not been repeated explicitly.

This document defines new features not present in earlier specifications. In addition, once final, it will replace and supersede the following:

• The CSS Multi-Column Layout Module Level 1

An element whose column-width or column-count property is not auto establishes a multi-column container (or multicol container for short), and therefore acts as a container for multi-column layout.

In the traditional CSS box model, the content of an element is flowed into the content box of the corresponding element. Multi-column layout introduces a fragmentation context formed of anonymous fragmentation containers called column boxes (or columns for short). These column boxes establish an independent block formatting context into which the multi-column container’s content flows, and form the containing block for its non-positioned children.

In this example, the width of the image is set with these rules:

img {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
}

Given that the column box creates a new block formatting context, the width is calculated relative to the column box. Therefore the image will not overflow the column box:

Given that the column box creates a new

, a top margin set on the first child element of a multicol container will not collapse with the margins of the multicol container.

Floats that appear inside multi-column layouts are positioned with regard to the column box where the float appears.

In this example, this CSS fragment describes the presentation of the image:

img {
  display: block;
  float: right;
}

In the HTML, the image appears after the sentence ending, "the leg of a chicken".

Content overflowing a column box in the block axis fragments and continues in the next column box.

Note: Column boxes, which are anonymous boxes, do not become the containing block for absolutely positioned boxes. The position property, which establishes a containing block for such boxes, applies to the multicol container, it being the principal box.

In this example, the

has

thus becoming the containing block. The image is a direct child of the

and has

. It takes positioning from the

and not from the

.

.container {
  position: relative;
  column-count: 3;
}
img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 20px;
  left: 40px;
}

Out-of-flow descendants of a multi-column container do affect column balancing, and the block-size of the multi-column container.

The column boxes are ordered in the inline base direction of the multicol container and arranged into multicol lines. The column width is the length of the column box in the inline direction. The column height is the length of the column box in the block direction. All column boxes in a line have the same column width, and all column boxes in a line have the same column height.

Note: In text set using a vertical writing mode, the block direction runs horizontally. In a vertical writing mode columns are laid out horizontally, and the direction of the flow of blocks may be right to left, or left to right. The column-width property therefore refers to the inline size of the column, and not the physical horizontal width.

Within each multicol line in the multi-column container, adjacent column boxes are separated by a column gap, which may contain a column rule. All column gaps in the same multi-column container are equal. All column rules in the same multi-column container are also equal, if they appear; column rules only appear between columns that both have content.

In the simplest case a multicol container will contain only one line of columns, and the height of each column will be equivalent to the used height of the multi-column container’s content box. However, fragmentation or spanners can split the content of the multi-column container into multiple multicol lines.

If the multi-column container is paginated, the height of each column is constrained by the page and the content continues in a new line of column boxes on the next page; a column box never splits across pages.

The same effect occurs when a spanning element divides the multi-column container: the columns before the spanning element are balanced and shortened to fit their content. Content after the spanning element then flows into a new, subsequent line of column boxes.

A multi-column container therefore is a regular block container that establishes a new independent formatting context whose contents consist of a series of multicol lines and multicol spanners. Each multi-column line acts as a block-level box that establishes a multi-column formatting context for its column boxes; and each spanner acts as a block-level box that establishes an independent formatting context with its type depending on its display value as usual.

Nested multi-column containers are allowed, but there may be implementation-specific limits.

Note: It is not possible to set properties/values on column boxes. For example, the background of a certain column box cannot be set and a column box has no concept of padding, margin or borders. Future specifications may add additional functionality. For example, columns of different widths and different backgrounds may be supported.

Note: Multicol containers with column heights larger than the viewport may pose accessibility issues. See Accessibility Considerations for more details.

Finding the number and width of columns is fundamental when laying out multi-column content. These properties are used to set the number and width of columns:

• column-count
• column-width

A third property, columns, is a shorthand property which sets both column-width and column-count.

Other factors, such as explicit column breaks, content, and height constraints, may influence the actual number and width of columns.

This property describes the width of columns in multicol containers.

auto

means that the column width will be determined by other properties (e.g., column-count, if it has a non-auto value).

<length [0,∞]>

describes the optimal column width. The actual column width may be wider (to fill the available space), or narrower (only if the available space is smaller than the specified column width). Negative values are not allowed. Used values will be clamped to a minimum of 1px.

For example, consider this style sheet:

div {
  width: 100px;
  column-width: 45px;
  column-gap: 0;
  column-rule: none;
}

There is room for two 45px wide columns inside the 100px wide element. In order to fill the available space the actual column width will be increased to 50px.

Also, consider this style sheet:

div {
  width: 40px;
  column-width: 45px;
  column-gap: 0;
  column-rule: none;
}

The available space is smaller than the specified column width and the actual column width will therefore be decreased.

To ensure that column-width can be used with vertical text, column width means the length of the line boxes inside the columns.

Note: The reason for making column-width somewhat flexible is to achieve scalable designs that can fit many screen sizes. To set an exact column width, the column gap and the width of the multicol container (assuming horizontal text) must also be specified.

This property describes the number of columns of a multicol container.

auto

means that the number of columns will be determined by other properties (e.g., column-width, if it has a non-auto value).

<integer [1,∞]>

describes the optimal number of columns into which the content of the element will be flowed. Values must be greater than 0. If both column-width and column-count have non-auto values, the integer value describes the maximum number of columns.

Example:

body { column-count: 3 }

This is a shorthand property for setting column-width and column-count. Omitted values are set to their initial values.

Here are some valid declarations using the

property:

columns: 12em;      /* column-width: 12em; column-count: auto */
columns: auto 12em; /* column-width: 12em; column-count: auto */
columns: 2;         /* column-width: auto; column-count: 2 */
columns: 2 auto;    /* column-width: auto; column-count: 2 */
columns: auto;      /* column-width: auto; column-count: auto */
columns: auto auto; /* column-width: auto; column-count: auto */

The pseudo-algorithm below determines the used values for column-count (N) and column-width (W). There is one other variable in the pseudo-algorithm: U is the used width of the multi-column container.

Note: The used width U of the multi-column container can depend on the element’s contents, in which case it also depends on the computed values of the column-count and column-width properties. This specification does not define how U is calculated. Another module (probably the Basic Box Model [CSS3BOX] or the Box Sizing Module [CSS3-SIZING]) is expected to define this.

The floor(X) function returns the largest integer Y ≤ X.

(01)  if ((column-width = auto) and (column-count = auto)) then
(02)      exit; /* not a multicol container */
(03)  if column-width = auto then
(04)      N := column-count
(05)  else if column-count = auto then
(06)      N := max(1,
(07)        floor((U + column-gap)/(column-width + column-gap)))
(08)  else
(09)      N := min(column-count, max(1,
(10)        floor((U + column-gap)/(column-width + column-gap))))

And:

(11)  W := max(0, ((U + column-gap)/N - column-gap))

For the purpose of finding the number of auto-repeated columns, the UA must floor the column size to a UA-specified value to avoid division by zero. It is suggested that this floor be 1px or less.

In fragmented contexts such as in paged media, user agents may perform this calculation on a per-fragment basis.

The used value for column-count is calculated without regard for explicit column breaks or constrained column heights, while the actual value takes these into consideration.

In this example, the actual column-count is higher than the used column-count due to explicit column breaks:

div {
  width: 40em;
  columns: 20em;
  column-gap: 0;
}

p {
  break-after: column;
}

<div>
  <p>one
  <p>two
  <p>three
</div>

The actual column-count may be lower than the used column-count. Consider this example:

div {
  width: 80em;
  height: 10em;
  columns: 20em;
  column-gap: 0;
  column-fill: auto;
}

<div>foo</div>

The computed column-count is auto, the used column-count is 4, and the actual column-count is 1.

All column boxes in a multi-column container are in the same stacking context and the drawing order of their contents is as specified in CSS 2.1. Column boxes do not establish new stacking contexts.

The ::column pseudo-element represents the individual columns in a multi-column container. It only exists on multi-column containers.

A multi-column container has as many ::column pseudo-elements as it has columns. They cannot be individually addressed; any styles applied to a multicol’s ::column pseudo-elements apply to all of them on that element. Each ::column has the same size and position as its corresponding column: the same size as the column’s available space in the inline axis and the container’s content box in the block axis. (It does not cover the gaps/rules between columns.)

::column pseudo-elements are treated as children of their multi-column container, without any contents. They do not wrap the contents of the column, just fill the same space.

The ::column pseudo-element accepts only a very limited set of properties:

• scroll-margin, scroll-snap-align, and scroll-snap-stop (the scroll snap properties that apply to elements inside a scroll container)

Additionally, a ::column pseudo-element can have a ::scroll-marker pseudo-element of its own, as ::column::scroll-marker. (Other pseudo-elements do not exist on ::column.) Such ::scroll-marker pseudo-elements inherit from the ::column pseudo-element’s originating element, rather than the ::column itself.

Note: This list of properties and pseudo-elements that work on ::column will likely be expanded in the future, as we develop more features that could usefully care about the position of a column without caring about the contents.

Column gaps and rules are placed between columns in the same multicol container. The length of the column gaps and column rules is equal to the column height. Column gaps take up space. That is, column gaps will push apart content in adjacent columns (within the same multicol container).

A column rule is drawn in the middle of the column gap with the endpoints at opposing content edges of the multicol container. Column rules do not take up space. That is, the presence or thickness of a column rule will not alter the placement of anything else. If a column rule is wider than its gap, the adjacent column boxes will overlap the rule, and the rule may possibly extend outside the box of the multicol container. Column rules are painted just above the border of the multicol container. For scrollable multicol containers, note that while the border and background of the multicol container obviously aren’t scrolled, the rules need to scroll along with the columns. Column rules are only drawn between two columns that both have content.

The column-gap property is defined in [CSS3-ALIGN].

In a multi-column formatting context the used value of normal for the column-gap property is 1em. This ensures columns are readable when the initial values are used. If there is a column rule between columns, it will appear in the middle of the gap.

<color>

Specifies the color of the column rule.

The column-rule-style property sets the style of the rule between columns of an element. The <line-style> values are interpreted as in the collapsing border model.

The none and hidden values force the computed value of column-rule-width to be 0.

This property sets the width of the rule between columns. Negative values are not allowed.

This property is a shorthand for setting column-rule-width, column-rule-style, and column-rule-color at the same place in the style sheet. Omitted values are set to their initial values.

In this example, the

and the

have the same width. Therefore, they will occupy exactly the same space.

body {
  column-gap: 35px;
  column-rule-width: 35px;
  column-rule-style: solid;
  column-rule-color: black;
}

When content is laid out in multiple columns, the user agent must determine where column breaks are placed. The problem of breaking content into columns is similar to breaking content into pages, which is described in CSS 2.1, section 13.3.3 [CSS21].

Three new properties are introduced to allow column breaks to be described in the same properties as page breaks: break-before, break-after, and break-inside.

break-before, break-after, and break-inside are defined in [CSS3-BREAK].

The column-span property makes it possible for an element to span across several columns. This specification adds <integer> to the values available in the previous level.

This property describes how many columns an element spans across. Values are:

none

The element does not span multiple columns.

all

The element forces a column break and is taken out of flow to span across all columns of the nearest multicol ancestor in the same block formatting context. Content in the normal flow that appears before the element is automatically balanced across all columns in the immediately preceding multi-column line before the element appears, and any subsequent content flows into a new multi-column line after the element. The element establishes an independent formatting context.

Note: Whether the element establishes a new formatting context does not depend on whether the element is a descendant of a multicol or not. When column-span is all, it always does. This helps with robustness of designs to later revisions that remove the multicol, or when media queries turn the multicol off in some situations.

<integer [1,∞]>

The element spans the specified number of columns. Values must be greater than 0. If the specified integer value is equal to, or larger than the number of columns in the multicol element, the number of columns spanned will be the same as if column-span: all had been specified.

This definition is insufficient.

• Does column-span: 1 count as column-span: none, or does it create a spanner (which is a BFC)?
• Which columns does it span?
• How does that affect height calculations, and interact with column-fill

auto

The number of columns spanned by the element depends on its min-content outer size in the inline direction of the multi-column container. If it is smaller than the used value of column-width, this is the same as if column-span: none had been specified. Otherwise, the number of columns spanned is the smallest positive integer n for which n × column-width + (n - 1) × column-gap is larger than the min-content outer size. If this would be larger than the number of columns, the number of columns spanned will be the same as if column-span: all had been specified.

If column-span: 1 does not do the same as column-span: none, should this behave as column-span: 1 or as column-span: none when the element is small enough?

An element that spans more than one column is called a multi-column spanning element and the box it creates is called a multi-column spanner.

The containing block of the spanner is the multicol container itself. Consequently, in cases where the spanner itself does not establish a containing block for absolutely positioned boxes inside the spanner, their containing block chain skips directly to the multicol container (skipping any ancestors between the spanner and the multicol container).

Although the spanner is taken out-of-flow, this does not affect the painting order [CSS21] of the spanning element.

In this example, an

element has been added to the sample document after the sixth sentence (i.e., after the words "the leg of a"). This styling applies:

h2 { column-span: all; background: silver }

By setting column-span to all, all content that appears before the h2 element is shown above the h2 element.

Note that because the spanner splits the multi-column line, it also interrupts any column rules (which are only drawn between columns in a multi-column line).

A spanning element may be lower than the first level of descendants as long as they are part of the same formatting context, and there is nothing between the spanning element and multicol container that establishes a containing block for fixed position descendants.

In this example, the element with

is inside an element with

. The transform establishes a containing block for fixed position descendents, therefore a spanner will not be created.

<article>
  <section>
    <div class="spanner">Attempted spanner</div>
  </section>
</article>

article {
  columns: 2;
}

section {
  transform: rotate(90deg);
}

.spanner {
  column-span: all;
  background: silver;
}

If the fragment before the spanner is empty, nothing special happens; the top margin/border/padding is above the spanning element, as an empty fragment.

In this example the

is the

element. Inside this parent is a paragraph and then a section element. The section contains an

heading set to

this spans all three columns while the containing section remains inside the column boxes.

The h2 is the first child of the section. This means that the margin, border (shown in red in the diagram) and padding on this section appear before the spanning h2 as an empty fragment.

<article>
  <p>...</p>
  <section>
    <h2>An h2 element</h2>
    <p>...</p>
  </section>
</article>

section {
  border: 2px solid red;
  margin-top: 65px;
  padding-top: 20px;
}

h2 {
  column-span: all;
  background: silver
}

A spanning element takes up more space than the element would take up otherwise. When space is limited, it may be impossible to find room for the spanning element. In these cases, user agents may treat the element as if none had been specified on this property.

In this example, the

element appears later in the content, and the height of the multicol container is constrained. Therefore, the

element appears in the overflow and there is not room to make the element spanning. As a result, the element appears as if

was specified.

This example is similar to the previous example, except that the H2 element appears naturally in the last column. Still, there is not enough room to make the element spanning.

In fragmented contexts spanning elements are honored in all fragments. In this example, we are in

, and the first three paragraphs have column breaks after them. A spanning

element appears after the fourth paragraph.

Spanners are block-level boxes therefore the margins of two adjacent spanners will collapse with each other. The margins of two spanners separated only by an absolutely positioned item will collapse with each other, as absolutely positioned items do not create column boxes. As column boxes establish a new block formatting context, margins on elements inside a column box will not collapse with the margin of a spanner.

Spanners establish new

, but their margins can be changed by their surroundings. In this example, two spanners naturally end up at the top of a page. The top margin of the first spanner is truncated due to adjoining an unforced break. The margins between the two spanners collapse with each other. However, the bottom margin of the second spanner does not collapse with the top margin of the subsequent element.

h2 {
  margin: 16px 0;
  column-span: all;
  background: silver
}
p { margin-top: 16px }

There are two strategies for filling columns: columns can either be balanced, or not. If columns are balanced, user agents should try to minimize variations in column height, while honoring forced breaks, widows and orphans, and other properties that may affect column heights. If columns are not balanced, they are filled sequentially; some columns may end up partially filled, or with no content at all.

This property specifies whether content in a multi-column line that does not immediately precede a spanner is balanced across columns or not.

The values are:

balance

Balance content equally between columns, as far as possible. In fragmented contexts, only the last fragment is balanced.

balance-all

Balance content equally between columns, as far as possible. In fragmented contexts, all fragments are balanced.

auto

fill columns sequentially

In continuous contexts, this property does not have any effect when there are overflow columns.

In this example, an article only has one short paragraph which fits on three lines. The three lines are displayed in three different columns due to column balancing.

article {
  width: 60em;
  height: auto;
  columns: 4;
  column-fill: balance;
}

In this example, column balancing is turned off, and the article has a height:

article {
  width: 60em;
  height: 4em;
  columns: 4;
  column-fill: auto;
}

As a result, the first column is filled with all content:

In this example, an article has two paragraphs: first a long one, then a shorter one. This code is applied:

article {
  width: 60em;
  height: auto;
  columns: 4;
  column-fill: balance;
}

p {
  break-after: column;
}

The shortest column height possible contains five lines of text. After the column height has been established, columns are filled sequentially. As a result, the third column is as high as the first two columns, while the last column ends up being significantly shorter.

article {
  width: 60em;
  height: auto;
  columns: 4;
  column-fill: balance;
}

In this example, an article starts with an unbreakable figure which sets the column height. Subsequent content is filled sequentially into the remaining columns:

Except for cases where this would cause a column break, content that extends outside column boxes visibly overflows and is not clipped to the column box.

Note: See § 6 Column Breaks for column breaks and § 9.2 Pagination and Overflow Outside Multicol Containers for whether it is clipped to the multi-column container’s content box.

In this example, the image is wider than the column:

Content and column rules that extend outside column boxes at the edges of the multi-column container are clipped according to the overflow property.

A multicol container can have more columns than it has room for due to:

• a declaration that constrains the column height (e.g., using height or max-height). In this case, additional column boxes are created in the inline direction
• the size of the page. In this case, additional column boxes are moved to the next page(s).
• explicit column breaks. In this case, additional column boxes are created in the inline direction for continuous contexts and additional column boxes are moved to the next fragment(s) for fragmented media.

Columns that appear outside the multicol container in continuous contexts are called overflow columns. Overflow columns can affect the height of the multicol container.

In this example, the height of the multi-column container has been constrained to a maximum height. Also, the style sheet specifies that overflowing content should be visible:

div {
  max-height: 5em;
  overflow: visible;
}

As a result, the number of columns is increased.

In continuous contexts overflow columns can affect the height of the multicol container. In this example a column appears in the overflow which has four lines of text. The multicol container is made tall enough to accommodate this column.

In fragmented contexts, the overflow content goes into columns in subsequent fragments. Given the same content as in example 31 and a page box that only has room for five lines of formatted text, this would appear on the first page:

Assuming column balancing, this would appear on the second page:

In this example, explicit column breaks are generated after paragraphs:

p {
  break-after: column;
}

As a result, the number of columns increases and the extra columns are added in the inline direction:

In

, extra columns are shown on the next page. Given the same code as the previous example, the last paragraph appears on the second page. This would appear on the first page:

This would appear on the second page:

Due to column balancing, the last paragraph is split across three columns.

Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

All of the text of this specification is normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]

Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example” or are set apart from the normative text with class="example", like this:

Informative notes begin with the word “Note” and are set apart from the normative text with class="note", like this:

Note, this is an informative note.

Advisements are normative sections styled to evoke special attention and are set apart from other normative text with <strong class="advisement">, like this: UAs MUST provide an accessible alternative.

A style sheet is conformant to this specification if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature defined in this module.

A renderer is conformant to this specification if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined by this specification by parsing them correctly and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)

An authoring tool is conformant to this specification if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets as described in this module.

So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to assign fallback values, CSS renderers must treat as invalid (and ignore as appropriate) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support. In particular, user agents must not selectively ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be ignored.

Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.

To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group.
