	<description>
		The `dt-init columns` option in the initialisation parameter allows you to define details about the way individual columns behave. For a full list of column options that can be set, please see the related parameters below.

		Note that if you use `dt-init columns` to define your columns, you _must_ have an entry in the array for every single column that you have in your table (these can be null if you don't wish to specify any options).
