Making three columns

[FloatingAroundSpace]

Ok so this is somewhat of a silly question but I am trying to make three columns of equal size. Problem is, there coding for columns doesn't nicely let you split things up into three equal spaces, since the total is 8 and 8/3 is some fraction I'm certain it won't accept. Is there any way that people may be able to create three equal columns or am I just gonna have to start rearranging things?

Have you considered trying out the newspaper bbcode?

Would I be able to change the background?


My issue is I want to make three accordions across the page horizontally, and it seems the newspaper just ensures that all the text is even with each other and doesn't give the coder much control over where the breaks are. I've never used it before so I might be wrong.

To be quite honest, I have never seen a user play around with the newspaper bbcode. My only other suggestions is a 2-4-2 column layout.

Welp, time to go back to the arranging board I guess. I'll check out the newspaper for a bit. Thanks!

Alternatively, maybe you could go a 3-2-3 route (or any arrangement of the two 3s and one 2 I suppose) and mess around with centerblock for the span3s, like centerblock=90 or something, which might give off the appearance of span2. One of us would have to play around to find the exact percentage for centerblock, though.

Hmm ok I'll look into that!

I might also suggest a 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 column arrangement in which the two columns of span 1 are blank. I've done that before.

I don't know if it still works this way, but it used to be when I used 1.5 (or 2.5, or 3.5, etc.), it would auto-size the column to the width of the largest text entry (space permitting). If you had headers in your column that were all the same width, it should auto-size them to be the same.

I'm not sure if RPNation can change it, but why is span set out of 8? Normally a total of 12 is used because its has more factors while still being a fairly small number
