I think "column-count: auto" is a promising option to show same web content in viewports of different sizes. To ensure that user never has to scroll up for next column, I think one way is to define a new paged media type for computer screens (and possibly for handheld devices, too). The size of a page would have to adapt to the size of viewport automatically. Maximum length (or height) of a column would be determined by the available vertical space in viewport. Programmer or user would specify the preferred column width for easy reading. Ideally, the column width should depend on font size, I think. Btw. if programmer used neither styles nor tables, setting the single column's width should be configurable by user. In my experience, current browsers do not give good means to adjust viewport width (without resizing the browser window, which is not a handy way, if there are several tabs open). -- Homepage http://www.iki.fi/jarno.suni/
