<p>Columnizer is a jQuery based WordPress plugin that formats your content into columns. All you need to do is embrace your content in a single set of shortcodes denoting the number of columns you’d like. Like this:</p>
<pre><code>[threecolumns]
Lorem ipsum...vitae nunc.
Curabitur fringilla...consectetur arcu.
Proin id...pretium eros.
etc...
[/threecolumns]
</code></pre>
<p>The rest is taken care of for you. Just write out the number of columns (up to twelve) followed by the word ‘columns’ with no space (as above) and your column formatting needs will be satisfied most splendidly. Other column plugins need you to divvy up the content between sets of tags. Columnizer does it for you!</p>
<p>To customize the margins between columns edit <em>columnizer.css</em>. Alternatively you could override the rules in your own css file by adding an extra level of hierarchy. Something like this:</p>
<pre><code>#main #columnizer .first div {
    margin-right: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
    margin-left: 0 !important;
}
#main #columnizer .last div {
    margin-left: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
    margin-right: 0 !important;
}
#main #columnizer .column div {
    margin-left: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
    margin-right: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
        border-left: 1px solid grey; /*new rule to add slick dividers*/
        border-right: 1px solid grey; /*new rule to add slick dividers*/
}
</code></pre>
<p>WP Columnizer is based on the jQuery plugin “Columnizer” by Adam Wulf.</p>

Gridable

I really appreciate the minimal code it adds to the page. I usually write something similar to this for my client projects, but this is much nicer in several respects.

However:

	It's impossible to insert the cursor after a row if the row is the last thing in the content.
	You can't rearrange rows or cut and paste.
	The Add Row button does not work in the Text editor.
	Front-end JS file is mostly a giant comment. Minified version should be used, and possibly the dependency on jQuery removed for this tiny little function.


Nicely minimalistic, but buggy

It works and creates columns, however, it has too many bugs, in it disables other functionality in the custom editor and paste deletes the whole paragraph not just the highlighted word.

Good idea too many bugs

Gridable adds row and column layout controls to the WordPress Classic Editor.
