column-span

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2020⁩.

The column-span CSS property makes it possible for an element to span across all columns when its value is set to all.

Try it

An element that spans more than one column is called a spanning element.

The column-span property is specified as one of the keyword values listed below.

none: The element does not span multiple columns.
all: The element spans across all columns. Content in the normal flow that appears before the element is automatically balanced across all columns before the element appears. The element establishes a new block formatting context.

column-span = 
  none             |
  <integer [1,∞]>  |
  all              |
  auto

In this example, the heading is made to span across all the columns of the article.
