Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Tables - Columns Only

Table with columns only
Lets say you want to install a long list of items such as a list of counties for a state. However you think it would be better to the divided list up into columns so the list does not show as one very long column. Here is an example of a list of counties that are in five equal columns Lets say that you want to create a table that the information will be in columns and you don't care if the cells line up with the cell in another column, you just put the items in one cell of a row. If you have a list of say counties and you only want to list them in columns, you might divide your list into equal lengths for each column and put that many each of the cells that you will have for the one row you will create. To keep the list at the top of each cell you use the vertical-align attribute.
