Text with images in css columns

Question

This is for my ebook app. Height of the columns will vary. So image location is difficult to predict. I use -webkit-column-break-before: always; to preserve images from being divided between columns. But this method leaves empty space.

Is it possible to fill empty space in the second column with text from the last? What do you think?

#mydiv{
  width:1000px;
  height:200px;
  -webkit-column-width:200px;
  border-style:solid;
 }

#image{
  box-sizing:border-box;
  border-style:solid;
  border-color:red;
  background-color:lightblue;
  height:100%;
  -webkit-column-break-before: always;
}

. . . after all it would around floatting elements : jsfiddle.net/rg9kvnys/3 — G-Cyrillus

i might have commented too fast. you need to float #image :

#mydiv {
  width: 1000px;
  height: 200px;
  -moz-column-width: 200px;
  -webkit-column-width: 200px;
  column-width: 200px;
  border-style: solid;
  /* eventually */
  -moz-column-fill: balance;
  -webkit-column-fill: balance;
  column-fill: balance;
}

#image {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red;
  background-color: lightblue;
  float: left;
  -moz-column-break-before: always;
  -webkit-column-break-before: always;
  column-break-before: always;
}

<div ID="mydiv">

or without an height set and column-fill also that can come handy https://jsfiddle.net/rg9kvnys/2/
