Meaningful Columnar Text

Where content is deliberately laid out in columns that are needed to convey meaning, capture the text in a table with the attribute class="columnText".

table[@class="columnText"]

This layout is usually used in combination with grouped lines.

Content can get very complex, with nested group elements and use of groupItem elements with no break space to force layout.
