title: 2-column auto-layout by CSS?
body: <p>Given a</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing...
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is it possible with CSS to generate a 2 or 3-column layout automatically, say by specifying the height of the container? If not, what are best practices in such a case?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
