Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to make the <h2> element span across only one column within a <div< element.
The CSS style block defines rules for elements with the class "xyz".
-webkit-column-count: 3; and column-count: 3; set the number of columns to 3 for WebKit browsers and all browsers respectively.
The CSS rule h2 specifies styles for <h2< elements.
-webkit-column-span: 1; and column-span: 1; specify that the <h2< element should span across only one column for WebKit browsers and all browsers respectively.
