Hi wkhtmltopdf-general,

thanks for the lovely software. This is probably just a webkit version problem but I've found that I can't get <dl> tags to wrap into multiple columns using the css column-count property.

I'm running on Arch Linux with wkhtmltopdf version:

$ wkhtmltopdf -V
Name:
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.0 03c001de254b857f08eba80b62d4b6490ffed41d

I've found that the same html works with chromium 33.0.1750.152 (Developer Build 256984). Here's an example html file that will produce two columns in chromium but not in evince after running $ wkhtmltopdf index.html index.pdf:

<html>
<body>
    <style>
      dl {
        -webkit-column-count: 2;
      }
    </style>
    <dl>
      <dt>hello</dt>
      <dd>world</dd>
      <dt>goodbye</dt>
      <dd>world</dd>
    </dl>
</body>
</html>

Feel free to ask for more details if needed. The problem isn't too problematic for me since there's a simple layout change I can make so I don't need multi column <dl> tags but it'd be a tiny bit neater if I could get away with this so I thought I'd ask you guys incase it wasn't webkit versions not being the same.

Thanks for your time,
David
