you can do that with 'manual balancing'
Thank you, Hans, for your reply. I know that with such a complex layout manual adjustment is necessary. I know about manual balancing. But how to avoid page break after columnset closing?
It is feasible or I will have to abjured this idea?
the problem with automated balancing in this model is that it's near to impossible (never say never with tex, but its definitely messsy code) to combine this with the advanced float and area placement features; so, your flow will be:
- typeset article - determine balance requirements - setup balancing - retypeset article - continue on same page
That is the point. How?
spanning chapter titles canbe done with areas or column set spans
I do not think so, but I can miss something: column set span: a) text flows along the column and can continue bellow the head in the first col b) problem with making span narrower if it appears in the last col areas: also a) vit ======================================================= Ing.
