2.3.1. Resize Column Mechanism
- When you increase or decrease a column width to the left or right side, the width of the next column will decrease or increase accordingly without affecting the line width.
- When you change the parameter of columns per line, all of the columns that you have will be automatically resized equally on a row and you still can optionally edit the size of each column.
- In case, if you have the odd column in per line, this odd column will be automatically resized to full-width in line
For example:
If you have 4 columns and you set column per line is 3:
- Line 1: Have 3 columns ( Each column takes 1/3 of the area of the line)
- Line 2: Have 1 column (This column will full-width inline)
