As far as I know there is no easy way to split a text block into
multiple columns on a webpage. Is there any sort of Ruby plugin that
has this functionality? So you can specify the size of a column and
have the plugin calculate how much text fits into each column based on
text sizes etc?
I am not sure if this would be of any help in your situation, but
there is CSS 3 multi column display which is up and coming and Firefox
has an early implementation (-moz-column-count) that works quite
well.
