Automatic column text wrapping in html

Question

Is there any way to text wrapping into two or more columns in HTML only with CSS?

I have continous text with p tags only like this:

<div id="needtowrap">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ...</p>
    <p>Nulla ullamcorper diam arcu, ...</p>
    <p>In libero diam, facilisis quis urna nec, ...</p>
    <p>Sed varius et mi quis dictum. ...</p>
</div>

I wan to wrap this text into two columns at 50% of the text, like in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice, etc.

It is possible?

See the "column" rule:

As you can see, it's a CSS3 rule, and so you might not find browser support as complete as you'd like..
