Examples
Spanning columns
Use col-span-<number> utilities like col-span-2 and col-span-4 to make an element span n columns:
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4"> <div class="...">01</div> <div class="...">02</div> <div class="...">03</div> <div class="col-span-2 ...">04</div> <div class="...">05</div> <div class="...">06</div> <div class="col-span-2 ...">07</div></div>Starting and ending lines
Use col-start-<number> and col-end-<number> utilities like col-start-2 and col-end-3 to make an element start or end at the nth grid line:
<div class="grid grid-cols-6 gap-4"> <div class="col-span-4 col-start-2 ...">01</div> <div class="col-start-1 col-end-3 ...">02</div> <div class="col-span-2 col-end-7 ...">03</div> <div class="col-start-1 col-end-7 ...">04</div></div>These can also be combined with the col-span-<number> utilities to span a specific number of columns.
Using a custom value
Use utilities like col-[<value>],col-span-[<value>],col-start-[<value>], and col-end-[<value>] to set the grid column size and location based on a completely custom value:
<div class="col-[16_/_span_16] ..."> <!-- ... --></div>For CSS variables, you can also use the col-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<div class="col-(--my-columns) ..."> <!-- ... --></div>This is just a shorthand for col-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Responsive design
Prefix grid-column,grid-column-start, and grid-column-end utilities with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="col-span-2 md:col-span-6 ..."> <!-- ... --></div>Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
