Split Body Text across 2 or 3 columns responsively

I don't think I understand the question. Can you provide a little more explanation?

@auxiliaryjoel - I think that this is a hard problem to solve. The simple solution is to create two fields and to manually place the first column of text into field #1 and the second column of text into field #2. But, this does require manual editing.

Automatically, taking a block of text, figuring out the midpoint and putting it into two flowing columns is harder to achieve. 

Here is a link to a Drupal 7 sandbox module that used a JQuery library to achieve this, but I'm not seeing a readily available module or tool to accomplish this in Backdrop CMS.

Maybe someone else has an idea. I'd love to hear about it.

Can be realised on theme level (preprocess in template.php) or in custom module.
