     You can specify a <strong>custom column gap</strong> by appending one of <strong>9 modifiers</strong> on the <code>.columns</code> container.

  <ul>
    <li>
      <code>is-0</code> will remove any gap (similar to <code>is-gapless</code>)

      <code>is-3</code> is the <strong>default value</strong>, equivalent to the <code>0.75rem</code> value

    <li>
      <code>is-8</code> is the maximum gap of <code>2rem</code>
