multi column managed layout

Post by lx931203 »

Hello,

there is awesome multicol package. Question is - how to properly do \columnbreak to get elements aligned?

In other words:
  • any element type - paragraph, image, table
  • after \columnbreak command new column must created
  • and remaining elements in the second column to be aligned to the first element in first column
Similar to the tufte style, but layout should be strictly formalized.

Can someone help to get this experience?

For example, in multicol package images after \columnbreak are not aligned to the first column.

`paracol` helps to explicitely break column (not always works in `multicol` package), but elements are not synchronized (at bottom) - there is an unnecessary space at the second column top.

Link to the demo.

Look - media at the second column is not aligned to the left "text-only" column.
