+ ã|Description:ã%
+The \threecolumns markup formats text in three identical width columns.
+Column widths, gutters and margins are calculated automatically. 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.

+\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. It has a freshness, simplicity and
+power that few modern languages possess. Bounds of the
+ancient Semitic tongue were approximately the
+Mediterranean Sea on the west, the Euphrates and Tigris
+Rivers on the easy, the mountains
+of Armenia on the north,
+and the coast of Arabia on the south. Consider the first
+character, N . . .

+ ã|Notes:ã%
+To change the column width or the gutter width, use the \multicolumnformat
+markup.
+ You cannot specify \threecolumns inside of \vbox, \drawbox,
+\paragraphbox, or a floating \figure (non floating figures, \nofloat,
+are ok).
+ If you want footnotes and figures to print in one column instead of
+across both columns, use the \fixedformat markup.
