This plugin provides several shortcodes for organising your content into multi-column layouts. It supports two, three and four column layouts.

== Description ==

This plugin provides several shortcodes for organising your content into multi-column layouts. It supports two, three and four column layouts and allows for content to span multiple columns if required.


Usage

Insert the required shortcodes into your content as follows:

2 column layout:

     [column-half-1]
     First column of content
     [/column-half-1]
     [column-half-2]
     Second column of content
     [/column-half-2]

3 column layout:

     [column-third-1]
     First column of content
     [/column-third-1]
     [column-third-2]
     Second column of content
     [/column-third-2]
     [column-third-3]
     Third column of content
     [/column-third-3]

4 Column layout:

     [column-quarter-1]
     First column of content
     [/column-quarter-1]
     [column-quarter-2]
     Second column of content
     [/column-quarter-2]
     [column-quarter-3]
     Third column of content
     [/column-quarter-3]
     [column-quarter-4]
     Fourth column of content
     [/column-quarter-4]

If you want content to span multiple columns you can combine the shortcodes to create a column spans multiple spaces, for example:

     1 Third / 2 Thirds

     [column-third-1]
     First column of content
     [/column-third-1]
     [column-third-2-3]
     Second column of content that spans the second and third columns
     [/column-third-2-3]

     1 Quarter / 2 Quarters / 1 Quarter

     [column-quarter-1]
     First column of content
     [/column-quarter-1]
     [column-quarter-2-3]
     Second column of content that spans the second and third columns
     [/column-quarter-2-3]
     [column-quarter-4]
     Third column of content that occupies the fourth quarter column
     [/column-quarter-4]

If you need to embed a set of columns within a column, you can do so by adding 'inner-' to the shortcode as follows:

     [column-half-1]
          Some Text
          [inner-column-half-1]
               Some more text
          [/inner-column-half-1]
          [inner-column-half-2]
               Even more text
          [/inner-column-half-2]
     [/column half 1]
     [column-half-2]
          The final text
     [/column-half-2]

You can also change the background colour of a colour by adding an attribute to the shortcode as follows:

     [column-half-1 background="e8e8e8"]
