CSS column-gap Property
The column-gap property sets the length of the gap between columns.
The column-gap property is one of the CSS3 properties.
It is specified by two values: normal and length. "Normal" is a default value. The gap between columns is normal. "Gap" can be specified in em, px, and percentages.
Some property extensions are added, such as -webkit- for Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera (newer versions), -moz- for Firefox, -o- for older versions of Opera etc.
When a column-rule is used between columns, it will be in the middle of the gap.

| Inherited | No. |
| Animatable | Yes. The length of the columns gap is animated. |
| Version | CSS3 |

Lorem Ipsum is dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
