Explanation:

The HTML structure consists of a container div with a paragraph inside.
CSS is used to style the container and create multiple columns for the paragraph text.
.container class sets the width of the container and centers it horizontally.
.container p class applies column formatting to the paragraphs inside the container.
Vendor prefixes are used to ensure browser compatibility for the column property.
The paragraph text will be split into five columns across modern browsers.
