colbreak
Element
Element
Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Forces a column break.

The function will behave like a page break when used in a single column layout or the last column on a page. Otherwise, content after the column break will be placed in the next column.

Example

#set page(columns: 2)
Preliminary findings from our
ongoing research project have
revealed a hitherto unknown
phenomenon of extraordinary
significance.

#colbreak()
Through rigorous experimentation
and analysis, we have discovered
a hitherto uncharacterized process
that defies our current
understanding of the fundamental
laws of nature.
