[css] trigger columns/kanban view with tags

a css kanban/columns view for children blocks, triggered by tags

usage:

tag a block with one of the following tags to display its children blocks in a columns layout :

  • #kanban : automatically adjust the columns width depending on the number of bullets
  • #kanban-small : same as above but with smaller fonts and a hover ‘zoom’ (useful when the classic kanban feels cramped)
  • #kanban-w100 : will set each column width to 100 px
  • #kanban-w200 : will set each column width to 200 px
  • #kanban-w300 : will set each column width to 300 px
  • #kanban-w400 : will set each column width to 400 px

it’s better to avoid nested kanbans

Is it possible to make this to hide all bold keyword for flashcard purpose?

Is this custom.css still working? – It used to work for me but it stopped working a month ago. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem?

Thank you a lot for this function! I really love it!
There may be something wrong with my network, I can’t download it from market. So I copied my fravourite part of your code from github (kanban part) to my custom.css, It works well.
The only thing I feel confused about is that I have no scrollable container. Sorry I know nothing about coding. Is scrollable container a part of kanban, or it’s defined by other parts of custom.css?
Sorry again for my stupid question.

Maybe inspirations from Airtable.com would be helpful:
