The dialoa/column filter does that, with subtle improvements (margin 0 on top to avoid an empty space we get by default), flexible markup (specify explicit column breaks rather than column divs, column spans, options for gaps and separator), and covers LaTeX/PDF output. See the test doc / manual https://github.com/dialoa/columns/blob/master/test.pdf

Subject: Re: ANN: pandoc-columnsSo I take it for HTML these two filters rely on
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Columns/Using_multi-column_layouts
https://www.caniuse.com/#feat=multicolumn , which is how other
packages like Markdeep do multi-columns
https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/features.md.html#multiplecolumns
But you can just do that with some additional CSS and then marking up
a .columns class <div>, no? Are these filters intended for supporting
other formats like PDF, or are they doing something more than just
inserting the relevant CSS for HTML outputs?
