Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to set the number of columns and how to fill CSS columns.
The CSS style block defines rules for elements with the classes "content-box" and "content-box1".
For both classes, the -webkit-column-count, -moz-column-count, and column-count properties set the number of columns to 3 for browsers that support the respective prefixes and the standard property.
For the class "content-box", the -webkit-column-fill, -moz-column-fill, and column-fill properties set how to fill columns to "auto", which means the browser automatically balances the content across columns.
For the class "content-box1", the -webkit-column-fill, -moz-column-fill, and column-fill properties set how to fill columns to "balance", which means the browser attempts to distribute content evenly across columns.
The HTML body contains two division elements, each containing multiple h1 and p elements.
The content in the division elements with the classes "content-box" and "content-box1" will be displayed in three columns, with the content being filled either automatically or balanced across the columns, depending on the class.
