One of the coolest features of CSS3 is the ability to create newspaper-like columns on your layouts without any extra markup. We always find ourselves “cheating”, using things like <div id="column-one"> which is not very good, so this property would save us a lot of time and unnecessary code.
CSS3 solves all this with the use of some really cool properties: column-width, column-gap and column-rule.
