+Introduction
+------------
+Pandoc fenced divs can be very powerful allowing providing, in
+theory many document formating possibilities. Unfortunately, plain
+Panfoc processing doesn't make full adventage of it and discards
+some formating in HTML outputs and most of it in Latex outputs.
+
+Multiple columns in document are only partialy accessible in
+Beamer (not plain Latex) and HTML outputs.
+
+As a result, it's not possible to render fancy multi columns
+PDF document from markdown sources.
+
+The main purpose of this filter is to make it possible and give
+similar formating features for both Latex/PDF and HTML outputs.
+
+My guidelines are :
+
+1) Use Pandoc divs like many already have proposed for uneven and even columns
+2) Same functionalities and rendering in HTML and Latex+PDF
+3) Mess the least possible with plain Pandoc processing which is quite OK already for HTML (miss only column-count for even columning).
+4) Allow users to use unknown Latex environments from exotic packages if they wish, provided they include them in the preamble.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+### Basic usage
+
+Copy `column-div.lua` in your document folder or in your pandoc
+data directory (details in
+[Pandoc's manual](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--lua-filter)).
+Run it on your document with a `--luafilter` option:
+
+```bash
+pandoc --luafilter column-div.lua SOURCE.md -o OUTPUT.pdf
+
+```
+
+or specify it in a defaults file (details in
+[Pandoc's manual](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--defaults)).
+
+This will generate consistent HTML, Latex and PDF outputs from
+Pandoc markdown files.
+
+### Formating the document
+
+Everything is done with Pandoc's fenced divs with class names and
+attributes. The attributes are similar to those from HTML styling and/or
+Latex.
+
+#### Multiple even columns
+For Latex and PDF output, you will need to call the multicol
+package. This can be done un the YAML header.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```markdown
+---
+header-includes:
+    - |
+      ```{=latex}
+      \usepackage{multicol}
+
+      ```
+---
+
+Some regular text
+
+:::: {.multicols column-count="2"}
+Some text formatted on 2 columns
+::::
+```
+
+* Latex output is done with `multicols` environment.
+* HTML output uses `style="column-count: 2"` on a div block.
+
+#### Uneven columns
+
+No specific Latex package are needed. We use Nested Pandoc divs in
+the same way that columns and column environments are used in
+Beamer/Latex.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```markdown
+
+:::::::: {.columns}
+:::: {.column width="20%" valign="c"}
+Some text or image using 20% of the page width.
+::::
+:::: {.column width="80%" valign="c"}
+Some text or image using 80% of the page with.
+::::
+::::::::
+```
+
+* Beamer/Latex output is based on columns and column environments
+* Plain Latex (and PDF) rendering use minipage environments
+* HTML rendering is not affected by this filter since Pandoc do it
+well already (based on divs with `width` attributes).
+
+#### Other usages
+
+For HTML outputs, you already can create divs with whatever class names you
+like and style them with `style=" … "` attributes. This is
+processed by Pandoc and has nothing to do with this filter.
+
+This filter allows to do the same in Latex (and PDF).
+You can create whatever environment you need. The environment name is the
+class name given to the fenced div. In case of multiple class names, the 
+first one is used. Other are ignored but allowed to help you to maintain 
+a single markdown source for PDF and HTML outputs.
+The `data-latex=" … "` attribute allows you to pass options and
+parameters to the `\begin` environment instruction.
+
+To Do
+-----
+
+Others multi column features could be implemented as column
+spacing, rules, etc.
+
+Since Pandoc does a very good job with the `width` styling
+attribute to implement variable column width, it could easily
+support HTML even column via the `column-count` attribute.
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+PRs welcome.

+column-div - leverage Pandoc native divs to make balanced and unbalanced column
+             and other things based on class name and attributes.
+

+
+Credits:    Romain Lesur and Yihui Xie for the original column filter
+            implementation (output in beamer format).
+
+Output:     latex, pdf, html
+
+Usage:                          classname   attributes
+            balanced columns    .columns    column-count
+            columns(container)  .columns
+            column(each column) .column     width(percent) valign(t|c|b)
+            other divs          .<somename> data-latex
+
+            See README.md for details
+
+Note:       You need to include multicol latex package to get balanced columns
+            in latex or pdf
+            I tried to use well known html or latex parameter.
+            Even if lua doen't like hyphens like in column-count.
+
+Bugs:       * html rendering throws a warning [WARNING] Ignoring duplicate attribute style="width:60%;".
+            when width AND color are set and totally ignore the width
+            attribute. Don't know if this bug is mine
