Flow column text across multiple columns?

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello – is there a way to get column text to flow across multiple columns in a row? For example, if I create a 3-column row, can I get text entered in a column text element in column 1 to continue, to overflow, into columns 2 and 3? (As one might see in a newspaper…)

Thanks

For example, I’d like to get the column text in column 1 here – https://jazzjournal.co.uk – to run into column 2 after, say, 15 lines, and then likewise into col 3 and 4 until all the text is used.

Let me know if you need more examples to clarify.

Hi Mark, do you want this kind of flow on blocks or articles?
If is on articles it can be done using the columns css and the results will be – https://i.imgur.com/4dQAQxD.png
If is on block – you can use flex block 1 option for excerpt columns – https://i.imgur.com/MNTvk8N.png
I hope this will help you!

Hi Calin – both of those ideas look good. I want to get text flowing across the front page, so I guess the block solution will do it. I hadn’t noticed that option. Many thanks

Hi Calin – where do I find the columns CSS control for single post? Thanks

Hi, for single post use this custom css:
.tdb_single_content {
columns: 3;
}

You can set it on 2 columns if you want (the number can be changed), the css can be set directly in single post template using tagDiv Composer in a CSS RAW, or it can be set in the theme panel in custom css.
