Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like break-inside-column and break-inside-avoid-page to control how a column or page break should behave within an element:

<div class="columns-2">  <p>Well, let me tell you something, ...</p>  <p class="break-inside-avoid-column">Sure, go ahead, laugh...</p>  <p>Maybe we can live without...</p>  <p>Look. If you think this is...</p></div>

Responsive design

Prefix a break-inside utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="break-inside-avoid-column md:break-inside-auto ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
