Announcing pandoc-columns: A pandoc filter that provides a Markdown 
extension for columns. This package has been available from my repo for a 
while, but I have now uploaded it to Hackage, and also made it available as 
a Nix flake.

Thanks! I wrote a similar filter in Lua, https://github.com/dialoa/columns. 
Glad the markup is basically the same.

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?

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

I'm glad to know about your version Julien, and I will add a link to it in 
my README. It's great to have both. It's my understanding that the way 
Pandoc invokes them, Lua filters are actually faster than Haskell filters. 
So yours is probably a better option for most people. However, mine will 
still be useful for people who want to invoke it in a Haskell system, like 
Hakyll. Also, both filters are probably simple enough to serve as good 
examples for people trying to write their own filters.
