== Two-column article printouts ==
A print version that fits on 2 columns. It now appears as it is on the article page, being a one column of text, what I want is a button that will take this text and put it in two columns for reasons of readability. Thank you! Hope you can achieve it. [[User:Lincher|Lincher]] 21:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 
: If you use Firefox as your web browser, this would best be done in CSS. Here is an example, which the results can be seen in Print Preview:
<pre><nowiki>/* by Invitatious, License: GFDL */
@media print {
#content { /* Multi-column layout */
text-align: justify;
/* Firefox */
-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 1cm;
/* CSS3 Draft */
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 1cm;
}
}</nowiki></pre>
: It looks great in some places, horrible in others, because of infoboxes and images. Wikipedia was not designed to use a 2-column layout. If you have another browser, it still won't get much better than this. [[User:Invitatious|Invitatious]] 21:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
