You need to use CSS for that, it is presentation. There is a columns 
module working draft overhere:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-multicol-20010118/ 

It is already implemented experimentally in Prince and recent Mozilla 
nightly builds, afaik. Mozilla needs -moz- prefixes on the properties. I 
donā??t know whether Amaya supports it.
