It is nice in word processors to create short-term column layouts with documents by using tab key with the defined anchors across the top instead of using tables because you can run overlaps like this.

L                                      R
column a row 1          column a row two
this is the first column!   on the right

This allows for overlap, or naturally spanning columns without the need for so much structure. Great when you don’t need borders.

Can this layout be done in HTML? I know a tabbed layout can be accomplished on a webpage, what I don’t know is if you can set the column locations like you can in StarOffice/LibreOffice/OpenOffice Text or in Microsoft Word.

    Using div tags with the float: left and float: right styles, you can achieve this type of structure.
