To put material in side by side columns, you can use a native div
container with class columns, containing two or more div
containers with class column and a width
attribute:
:::::::::::::: {.columns}
::: {.column width="40%"}
contents...
:::
::: {.column width="60%"}
contents...
:::
::::::::::::::Note: Specifying column widths does not currently work for PowerPoint.
The div containers with classes columns and
column can optionally have an align attribute.
The class columns can optionally have a
totalwidth attribute or an onlytextwidth
class.
:::::::::::::: {.columns align=center totalwidth=8em}
::: {.column width="40%"}
contents...
:::
::: {.column width="60%" align=bottom}
contents...
:::
::::::::::::::The align attributes on columns and
column can be used with the values top,
top-baseline, center and bottom
to vertically align the columns. It defaults to top in
columns.
The totalwidth attribute limits the width of the columns
to the given value.
:::::::::::::: {.columns align=top .onlytextwidth}
::: {.column width="40%" align=center}
contents...
:::
::: {.column width="60%"}
contents...
:::
::::::::::::::The class onlytextwidth sets the totalwidth
to \textwidth.
