Tables

One may try to display a long narrow table as parallel segments by placing it inside {{div col}} ... {{div col end}}.

• Technically it works in Chrome (though title and/or column headings may make the result unsightly)
• however, it doesn't seem to work in Firefox; always shows the table as a single column
  • I think this is because of differences in the handling of column-fill CSS.
  • Is there some workaround CSS to add that might fix this?
• a minor issue is column-fill: balance seems to add odd rows from the centre column out, whereas adding from left to right would be neater.
