So 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?
