### F. Columns

`[columns]...[nextcol]...[nextcol]...[/columns]`
The `[columns]` tag begins a section where separate chunks of text are placed visually side-by-side, like with newspaper columns. The `[nextcol]` tag works with the `[columns]` tag to separate individual columns from one another. Usage of the `[columns]` tag is best demonstrated by example:

Code:

    This text goes before the columns.
    [columns]
    This text is in the first column.
    This is a second line in the first column.
    [nextcol]
    This is the second column,
    with a second line.
    [nextcol]
    This is a third column.
    Are we having fun yet?
    [/columns]
    This text goes after the columns.

Output:
This text goes before the columns.

This text is in the first column. This is a second line in the first column. | This is the second column, with a second line. | This is a third column. Are we having fun yet?

This text goes after the columns.

The ending `[/columns]` tag is required.
