text flowing though mutipult columns

[lomokev]

is there a way to get text to flow between multiple vertical coulumes like
you see in a news paper so that if the is lots of text it would flow into the next coulume and they would all be of equal height? a bit like linking text boxs in quark express if you know that program.

so what i want to do is a multiple column layout like this but have the css to split the text up equally between the columns so it looks like this:

the reason why i want to do this is because the text in question is going to pulled from a data base so i can't just manual tweak the design of the page

well thats good news for the future but not for me!

i would of thought that would been some thing that would been implemented a version 2 as its pretty standard in print

is there any hack to do in the present? maybe a php thing that will sort text equal amounts? bit complicated i know because of letter haing indervidual withs and so forth
