The multicols environment sets \parskip to “0.0pt plus 1.0pt” (not sure what that means), which looks ugly when used in combination with paragraph indention. Unfortunately, when I set it back to zero points, the lines in the two columns are no longer—necessarily—level. (Usually, I use \raggedbottom to assure this, but in this case it has no effect; neither has \raggedcolumns.) Whenever there is a section heading, or something of the sort, in one column, it disturbs the balance between the lines on both sides.
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}\usepackage[english]{babel}\usepackage{lipsum}\usepackage{multicol}\frenchspacing % ignore this line\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}\title{Fnords}\author{Telofy}\date{\today}\begin{document}\maketitle\begin{multicols}{2}\lipsum[1]\section*{Foobar}\lipsum[2-8]\end{multicols}\end{document}
Thanks in advance,
Telofy
