I had already experimented with simplecolumns, because these can be placed within framed and at first did seem to do the trick. But the problem I then encountered -- and could not see how to correct that -- is balancing of the columns, both at normal linespacing and with fixed lineskip. The bottomline of the columns is not consistently comeing out straight. It is then also difficult to get the whitespace above and below at equal size. Is there a solution?
actually, pdftex now has a feature to manipulate lineheights/depths but i will start using that when i'm sure that this version of pdftex is widely spreak you can try to add struts, \startsimplecolumns \begstrut some text ... and more \endstrut \stopsimplecolumns ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
