multicolumn
Spanning several columns
Multicolumn describes a layout or format arranged in multiple vertical columns rather than a single block of text or content.
The term appears most often in publishing, web design, and database contexts.
A multicolumn newspaper layout divides articles across two or three columns per page, while a multicolumn index in a database spans several fields to speed up queries.
The designer switched to a multicolumn format to make the dense text more readable.
