I dont know/understand what you mean with "columns". Columns suggest layout in columns. It should simply be a "wrapper". That wrapper may or may not be CSSd to a column.

where is the "base" class for box-2? The issue I see is that theres no way using this method to change all "sec-" entries in an outline container for example since you cant use css descendants since all have *unique* class names and IDs. >

I'm not sure I understand the need for the container container. Maybe I need to Google up centering vertically. > > > >>> >>>
