CSS Property column-gap
The column-gap property sets the gap between the columns.
When working with columns, space between each column is called gap.
If you find that the gap is too wide,
or too narrow, you can adjust it with column-gap.
W3C suggests a value of 1em.
For example,
article {
-webkit-columns: 2;
-moz-columns: 2;
columns: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 20px;
-moz-column-gap: 20px;
column-gap: 20px;
}
