86+ Styling Columns: the ''::column'' pseudo-element</h3>
87+
88+ The <dfn selector>::column</dfn> pseudo-element
89+ represents the individual columns
90+ in a [=multi-column container=] .
91+ It only exists on [=multi-column containers=] .
92+
93+ A [=multi-column container=] has as many ''::column'' pseudo-elements
94+ as it has columns.
95+ They cannot be individually addressed;
96+ any styles applied to a multicol's ''::column'' pseudo-elements
97+ apply to all of them on that element.
98+ Each ''::column'' has the same size and position
99+ as its corresponding column:
100+ the same size as the column's [=available space=] in the [=inline axis=]
101+ and the container's [=content box=] in the [=block axis=] .
102+ (It does not cover the gaps/rules between columns.)
103+
104+ ''::column'' pseudo-elements are treated as children of their [=multi-column container=] ,
105+ without any contents.
106+ They <em> do not</em> wrap the contents of the column,
107+ just fill the same space.
108+
109+ The ''::column'' pseudo-element accepts only a very limited set of properties:
110+
111+ * 'scroll-margin' , 'scroll-snap-align' , and 'scroll-snap-stop'
112+ (the scroll snap properties that apply to elements <em> inside</em> a [=scroll container=] )
113+
114+ Additionally, a ''::column'' pseudo-element can have a ''::scroll-marker'' pseudo-element of its own,
115+ as ''::column::scroll-marker'' .
116+ (Other pseudo-elements do not exist on ''::column'' .)
117+ Such ''::scroll-marker'' pseudo-elements
118+ inherit from the ''::column'' pseudo-element's [=superior parent=] ,
119+ rather than the ''::column'' itself.
120+
121+ Note: This list of properties and pseudo-elements that work on ''::column''
122+ will likely be expanded in the future,
123+ as we develop more features
124+ that could usefully care about the <em> position</em> of a column
125+ without caring about the <em> contents</em> .
