HTML is explicitly not about formatting pages. It is about describing the structure of a document to a computer. Other formats (perhaps used in conjunction with HTML) must describe its formatting. This is the point behind style sheets. They are external documents that describe the desired format of a document. > Options > that I don't see available in: > http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/Contents.html Hopefully you will never see formatting options in HTML. HTML 3.0 provides a mechanism for specifying external style sheets. That is where you should put your columns. Not in HTML. Paul Prescod
