The +default column width is 31% of the galleywidth (hsize). The default gutter +between each column is 3.5% of the galleywidth. + The Flexible format (the default) allows the user to use single column, +two column, and three column text interchangeably on the current page by +entering one of the markup choices at the desired point in the text. The +flexible format will balance the text columns whenever the number of columns +changes. + For example, if the author changes the multiple column format by +typing a different markup TEXT1 will automatically balance the columns it +is currently processing and change to a new number of columns. These +instructions can be inserted at any point on the page. + The author may want to handle tables and other large blocks of text by +returning to a single column for the table by typing \onecolumn immediately +before the table and returning to two or three column formatting immediately +after the table. + All running head, running foot, and inserts are printed across the +full single column width that prints across the top of the current page. +Footnotes will be printed across the full width at the bottom of the page. + + ã|Example:ã% +\threecolumns +\nin Hebrew is called a Semitic language because it has +its roots in Shem, one of the sons of Noah. +Viewing Jerusalem as its center, it is related to the +northern, rougher Aramaic, and to the southern, more +polished Arabic.
