Displaying dynamically created lists in different columns

Question

I have some list of vendors in my site, those vendors list are created manually.

Those links are displaying in one single column div

code

    <div class="rte">
      <ul class="vendor-list block-grid three-up mobile one-up">
          <li class="vendor-list-item" style="font-size:20px">
              <a href="/collections/{{ product_vendor | handleize }}">
                  {{ product_vendor }}
              </a>
          </li>
      </ul>
    </div>

But i wanted to display this list in 3 columns.

For example, if i have 30 vendors then show 10 vendors for each column.

See [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12332528/how-to-display-list-items-as-columns) for the info. Pretty good idea! — Mike B, Apr 15 '16 at 10:14

Try to add:

.vendor-list-item {
    width: 33%;
    float: left;
}

you can use CSS columns, like this:

.vendor-list {
  -webkit-columns: 3;  /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
  -moz-columns: 3;  /* Firefox */
  columns: 3;
}
@media (max-width: 640px) {
  .vendor-list {
    -webkit-columns: 1;    /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-columns: 1;    /* Firefox */
    columns: 1;
  }
}

<div class="rte">
  <ul class="vendor-list block-grid three-up mobile one-up">
    <li class="vendor-list-item" style="font-size: 20px;">
      <a href="/collections/accessorizeus-com">accessorizeus.com</a>

Add display property:

.vendor-list-item {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 33%;
}

For mobile, use media queries:

@media (max-width: 480px){
  .vendor-list-item {
     width: 100%;
     text-align: center;
   }
}

You could also add a condition for tablets (<767px) to show in 2 columns (width: 50%).
