The Obsidian Columns plugin allows users to create multi-column layouts within Obsidian notes. It offers three distinct methods for structuring columns: callout syntax, codeblock syntax, and list syntax. The plugin supports advanced layout features, including nested columns, customizable column widths, and flexible row creation. Users can define the height, width, alignment, and borders of individual columns, as well as set global layout defaults for an entire column group. With live-preview support for callout and codeblock syntax, users can see their column structures in real time. The plugin also enables content wrapping for mobile devices, ensuring responsiveness. Customizable border styles, padding, and row breaks provide precise control over the visual presentation of notes. The Obsidian Columns plugin is useful for structuring complex notes, side-by-side content, or any layout requiring a multi-column approach.

The Simple Columns plugin makes it easy to organise content into resizable, responsive columns directly inside your notes. With a straightforward markdown syntax and unique IDs for each column, you can split tasks, ideas, or code across columns that adapt to any screen size. The plugin supports both global and per column settings, so you can tweak border style, colour, resizer appearance, background, and text alignment as you wish. Adjust layouts for visual clarity or personal style and reset everything in a click if needed.
