2 Columns Component
The 2 Columns component allows you to display content in two columns, side-by-side. There are several options for the sizing of the columns:
- 50% / 50%
- 67% / 33%
- 33% / 67%
When the page is resized, or viewed on a mobile device, the columns will continue to float side-by-side until the window reaches a certain width (or breakpoint), at which point columns and their contents will stack up. For example, a 50% / 50% 2-column component will display its contents side-by-side unless viewed on a mobile device with a maximum screen width of 480px.
When should it be used?
Use the 2 Columns component when you need to display content in two columns, side-by-side.
Note: Column components cannot be nested (i.e., they cannot be placed within one another).
Styles
col-clear
In some situations, you may want the content of a column component to be rendered side-by-side only when viewed on a large desktop screen. By applying the col-clear style, the columns will stack up or "clear" at a wider breakpoint than usual (980px as opposed to 480px).
This is technique is particularly useful for columns that contain a lot of text. As the screen width decreases, the length of the sentences may become so short as to be unreadable. The col-clear style will ensure long, legible line lengths at smaller screen widths.
