David,

You might want to take a look at the page of demonstrations prepared by RenderX
team, among them one, RX, outputs a list in multi-column format, among other
tasks. The  URL is http://renderx.weberia.com/~renderx/Demos, and one you
migh be interested in is  http://renderx.weberia.com/~renderx/Demos/RX.
