Texto en columnas

Si quieres mostrar el contenido de tus textos en columnas, como en las revistas o periódicos digitales, puedes hacerlo de varias maneras. Quizás la más obvia es elegir un tema que ya use ese tipo de formato, o lo mismo prefieres usar tablas para hacerlo manualmente, pero ambos métodos tienen algún inconveniente.

Usar un tema predeterminado en columnas no siempre sirve, pues podrías querer columnas en unos sitios si y en otros no. No digamos las tablas, un método algo engorroso. Por supuesto, no hablaremos de modificar el código del tema pues tampoco podría ser todo lo flexible que necesitamos.

Pero podemos hacerlo con Magazine Columns, un plugin que nos facilita esta tarea mediante quicktags. Instalarlo es tan fácil como cualquier otro, y ni siquiera hay nada que configurar. Ahora bien, hay que conocer un poco el modo de usarlo. Vamos a verlo …

Lo que el plugin hace es registrar 3 nuevas tags o shortcodes que usar en nuestro editor HTML, ya sea manualmente o mediante los botones que añade. Para usar adecuadamente estas nuevas tags solo tienes que seguir las convenciones de estos ejemplos:

1. Todo el texto en columnas

Puedes separar el texto en varias columnas (4 como máximo) simplemente añadiendo la tag al principio del mismo, por ejemplo:

<!–column–>

Si quieres dividir el texto en más columnas simplemente añades la tag más veces, así …

<!–column–><!–column–><!–column–>

2. Solo parte del texto en columnas

Si solo quieres usar columnas en parte del texto coloca la tag donde quieras que empiecen las mismas y donde quieres que termine. Para separar el texto en las distintas columnas usa la tag .

Sería algo así:

AVISO: Esta publicación es de hace 3 años o más. Si es un código o un plugin podría no funcionar en las últimas versiones de WordPress, y si es una noticia podría estar ya obsoleta. Luego no digas que no te hemos avisado. ¡Ah! ¿te funciona? pues entonces no he dicho nada :)
