Dynamic width for div (table like)

I would like to do the following with CSS:

name1111 | x | name222  | dateeee | x
name11   | x | name22   | dateee  | x
name111  | x | name2222 | dateeee | x
name1    | x | name22   | daeee   | x

I would like every column be the maximum width. I meant, no fixed widths but the longest content would set it. How to do it? It used to be easy with tables, but seems impossible now

There is ways to do this with CSS, but it would be a lot more complex than using a simple table. A table is absolutely fine in this case. Imagine if you were making a poster in word, yo wouldn't use a table for layouts, but you would if you had a table of data to show. Same thing

You could use : float: left; and text-align: left.

That's a table, so use one.

It's a myth that tables are deprecated - using tables for page LAYOUT is considered bad - using tables for PRESENTING DATA is using the right tool for the right job.
