Makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. Often used to stop text from flowing next to unrelated images, so text will appear on a full width line under the image.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Side | 1 | Can be 'right' or 'left' so content is delayed until just the right or left column is complete. The default clears both columns.
