Oliver,
In reply to this:
I want to have the following: a document that contains
two *independent* columns, where each of those columns
is going through the whole (multi-paged) document.
There reason for this is:
I want to have one text as the original, layoutet in the first column.
The second column is to be intended as a "comment-column" (or one
also could use it as a
column with the translation of the "original column".
How to achieve that? This should be easy in lout?!?
And Jeff's comments:
There is nothing in the current Lout packages which supports two
independent columns of text through the document. You could
become an expert and modify the basic package so that the
@Text galley becomes two galleys, @TextA and @TextB, targeted
at separate columns of the page.
I wonder if this definition would do what you want:
import @BasicSetup
def @twocol left x right y
{
3i @Wide{x} ||0.2i 3i @Wide{y}
}
In your document, you'd use it like this:
