    Hello,

    i work a lot with indesign and unfortunately i am not very familiar with text design options in laytheme. I need a way to split text into two columns. I would like the text to flow from one column to the next, depending on the browser dimension. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

    Greetings, (another) Armin

      In the gridder, right click on the element and choose "set html class and id". For "html class" enter:

      mycolumns

      Enter the custom css in "lay options" -> "custom css & html".

      .mycolumns{
          columns: 2;
          column-gap: 20px;
      }

          Hey Armin, sorry – one more question about this. I worked with this code and everything seemed fine with Firefox.

          With Safari, the columns break if you open and close several 'collapsed' rows that include the two-column script.

          Please see for yourself: https://arminlorenz.net/home/home-copy/

          Is there any way to fix this?

          Thank you!
          Armin

            try this:

            .mycolumns>div{
                columns: 2;
                column-gap: 20px;
            }
            

            instead of the previous css!
