+===== Alternate with AUTO-BALANCED COLUMNS =====
+//Added on 10/04/18 by [[user>lenehey]]://
+The above tip is great and I really like using this mechanism rather than trying to make someone's plugin work for you.  But there is a much easier HTML mechanism that will auto-balance your columns. I tested this and it works GREAT!
+Add the following to ''entities.conf'' in your /conf directory.
+<code>
+<col2>  <div style="column-count: 2;">
+<col3>  <div style="column-count: 3;">
+</col>  </div>
+</code>
+Now simply put ''<col2>'' in front of the block of text you want split into two columns, or ''<col3>'' in front of the block of text you want to split into three columns, and then ''</col>'' at the end of that block of text.
