How to get specific column content from a multi-column layout made by CSS3?

Question

I have a webpage which content(single div and a lot of text with formatting) is splitted into several columns(30-40) by CSS3 ( through column-height and column-width)

Is there any way to get content of a specific column (the text inside that column)? Any language, framework or algorithm are welcome :)

Answer 1

The problem still remains unsolved. The best solution so far was jQuery + Columnizer plugin inside the WebView. Since columnizer wraps every column into the <div/>, the rest is simple parser work.

However, there is a geometrical(?) dependency between the size of the initial file and duration of columnizer work - beware of bottlenecks :)
