Parameters

width

The column width, including the gutter. This must be supplied, as there is no default. A shorthand method is to just supply the number as the first parameter, as in [col 20].

gutter

The number of spaces used to separate this column from the next.

align

Determines whether text is aligned to the left (the default), the right, or in a way that might display an HTML text input field correctly. Valid values are "L", "R" and "I".

spacing

The line spacing used for wrapped text. The default is 1, for single-spaced text.

wrap

Determines whether text that is greater in length than the column width will be wrapped to the next line. The default is "Yes".
