/* Column gap property */
-webkit-column-gap: 40px;
-moz-column-gap: 40px;

Tutorials Point originated from the idea that there exists a class
of readers who respond better to online content and prefer to learn
new skills at their own pace from the comforts of their drawing rooms.
The journey commenced with a single tutorial on HTML in 2006 and elated
by the response it generated, we worked our way to adding fresh tutorials
to our repository which now proudly flaunts a wealth of tutorials and
allied articles on topics ranging from programming languages to web
designing to academics and much more.
</div>
</body>
</html>
It will produce the following result −
For suppose, if user wants to make text as new paper without line, we can do this by removing style syntax as shown below −
.multi {
/* Column count property */
-webkit-column-count: 4;
-moz-column-count: 4;
column-count: 4;
/* Column gap property */
-webkit-column-gap: 40px;
-moz-column-gap: 40px;
column-gap: 40px;
}
It will produce the following result −
