Is there a way to set up a page with two or more columns so that text will
flow automatically from one to the next?

I have an alphabetical list of items (currently about 75) that will be
updated on an ongoing basis. I know the basics of setting up tables and
using list tags. What I would like to avoid, though, is leaving this either
as one long list or as a table where things have to be manually shuffled
around each time an item is added.

For this site, I'm hand coding the body of the pages in HTML. I then run
them through WML (Web Meta Language, which was set up by one of our Unix
system administration people and about which I know very little) which
generates the <.head> sections and posts the pages out to an intranet site.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Robert

P.S. For anyone who's curious, information about WML can be found at:

If anyone knows of any others sources of information on WML, I'd be most
interested. --Thanks.
