This is very easy to accomplish with some simple CSS and that is the
intended way to solve such problems. Design- and presentation-related
things like this has nothing to do with HTML.
What you would do in CSS is typically float ('float: left') elements with
specified height and width inside a container. When the container's width
increases, more elements will fit on the same line (or "row") and would
give a fluid look, almost like GtkIconView.
