columns – Control use of Columns on the page
Description
<columns $column-count [ $vAlign ] [ $column-gap ] />
Define, start or stop Columns in the document.
Note: The maximum ratio to adjust column height when justifying is set by $max_colH_correction - too large a value can give ugly results
Note: If you are setting HTMLHeaders or HTMLFooters, this will cancel any columns you have set;
you need to call SetColumns() or use <columns> after commands like
SetHTMLHeader() etc.
