# HTML Layout

Everywhere on the Web you will find pages that are formatted like newspaper pages using HTML columns.

One very common practice with HTML, is to use HTML tables to format the layout of an HTML page. A part of this page is formatted with two columns, like a newspaper page. As you can see on this page, there is a left column and a right column. This text is displayed in the left column. | An HTML <table> is used to divide a part of this Web page into two columns. The trick is to use a table without borders, and maybe a little extra cell-padding. No matter how much text you add to this page, it will stay inside its column borders.
