How to Make Two Columns?

[erinep23]

How do I make a two column list, where I have been in one column, but for this one list, I want to have two columns, but then go back to the initial one column?

The old-school way is to put the list into a two-column/one-row table with no (or white) borders.

btw, in Version 8, there is a whole section on columns in the Help.

The column information you'll find in the help is mainly about columns in page layouts.

If you're trying to set up columns inside a topic, then I'd also suggest also using a table.

(You could use div tags and use the float property, but that's more complicated to set up, and may not work for all outputs.)

Your basic layout is a column of text and white space beside it?
Then you can simply tell your body tag to have a margin-left. That leads to everything else only use that space, since the body tag is the parent for everything els you see on the page.
If you have elements that are supposed to use that white space too, you will have to give them a negative margin-left.
You can have elements that use the whole width you can have elements that are positioned in to the empty space and nothing beside it you can have elements that are positioned left and have text beside them (like marginal notes), etc. ...
