I have a <ul> that's inside of an <aside><p>, and I'm trying to give it 2 columns:

<ul cols="2">
  <li>AB</li>
  <li>AC</li>
  <li>AD</li>
  <li>BC</li>
  <li>BD</li>
  <li>CD</li>
</ul>

It only shows up with 1, though. (It appears to work as expected, when I copy and paste the <ul> into a <p> in the main body of the text.) Is this a known issue with respect to <aside>?

Thanks,
Adam

You get fewer columns than requested when the space is too narrow.

As asides are narrow, I'd say this looks expected, and maybe nobody
ever tried it before.
