Hi there,
I wonder how / whether it would be possible to have two columns within an article without using tables. Have a look here:
www.apple.com/de/finalcutexpress/#titling
Don't know how they did it. It's just to convey what I'm talking about. I think it looks beautiful and magazine / newspaper-like.
Pro:
Text is much easier to read, as the columns are more narrow.
Contra:
The user needs to scroll more often up and down.
What do you reckon? Any ideas? Worth thinking about it?
Peter

You can format / prepare your Article / Module text in your favorite HTML editor and paste the content in Articles and Modules using 'No Editor'.
Much of the content in the demo templates is created this way. - Thanks,

Good Morning,
I'd be interested in seeing how this works as well.
Let us know how your experiment turns out.
Thanks,
Matthew

And consider JavaScript implementations of the CSS3 multi-column styles. For example, see:
www.alistapart.com/articles/css3multicolumn
Then, just add some RokCandy to create a surrounding div with the class which defines the column-count property to some number higher than 2 and, voila!, you have multi-columns. - Steve Amerige,

Perhaps its worth noticing that you can learn a lot from the demo content of the rocket-launcher-packages. You can find always good examples for the use of columns with custom html/css.
(including divs, floats and clearing)
Check them out with the texteditor turned off.
