A nasty problem arises when I try to enclose columns into a framedtext and at the same time want to typeset it narrower inside the frame.
1. framedtext: columns will not typeset, simplecolumns does 2. narrower: columns honors narrowing, simplecolumns does not.
Now I am caught between two impossibilities. Is it an option that simplecolumns will also be honoring startnarrower..stopnarrower? Is there another, simple solution?
\framed[width=\hsize]\bgroup \startnarrower \setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize \startsimplecolumns \input tufte \par \input tufte\par \stopsimplecolumns \stopnarrower \egroup - when no width is given, framed will to to find the best fit - you set the hsize according to the narrower before the columns can you put that in the wiki?
