Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify the style of the rule between columns in a CSS layout.
The CSS style block defines rules for elements with the class "xyz".
Various -webkit prefixed properties are used for WebKit browsers (like Chrome and Safari), while non-prefixed properties are used for other browsers.
-webkit-column-rule-style: dashed; sets the style of the rule between columns for WebKit browsers to dashed.
column-rule-style: dashed; sets the style of the rule between columns for all browsers to dashed.
