Do you have a list of words that you want to arrange in columns to optimize space in an HTML file for a Django project?
If you're not very familiar with web development, feel free to break it down to me like I'm 10 years old!
{% extends "todo/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<style>
.elements {
display: block;
}
ul.items {
display: flex;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
flex-wrap: wrap;
list-style: none;
}
li.item {
flex: 1 0 20%;
padding: 8px;
margin: 2px;
border-radius: 8px;
border: 1px solid rgba(61, 86, 233, 0.3);
text-align: center;
}
.col {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
</style>
<!-- Header -->
<header class="intro-header">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-lg-5 mr-auto order-lg-2">

<!-- Page Content -->
<section class="content-section-a">

</ul>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% csrf_token %}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</section>

If you're unsure whether to include this in a specific CSS file like style.css or if adding it within <style> tags in your file is better, you can go with the latter for simplicity.
Currently, the buttons look good but are not aligned properly:

Additionally, the multi-selection effect is not working as expected.
In base.html, the following style.css is loaded with this line:
<link href="static/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
