Thank you Wolfgang! The header=high and mixed columns works perfectly.
\define[1]\IngredientMeasure {\doifsomething{#1}{#1}}
This didn't work. For example, "24 snail" became "24snail" because there is no measurement involved. I tried using { #!} (extra space), but it didn't produce the desired result. After making the changes, I noticed that the column text extends into the footer: 1. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=is5cCp94 (works with setup.tex). 2. http://i.imgur.com/n1c6GFK.png Any ideas how to stop columnar text from overflowing into the footer? P.S. In a different theme, the vertical rule extends beyond the text height into the footer: http://i.imgur.com/XEpGQN5.png -- I haven't isolated this issue, but it might be related. Thank you again!
