The model was the New York Times---hopefully I haven't violated any copyright laws. I also had to redefine the plain pagestyle. It kept me busy for a few nights after work. The rest is packages other people have written. \begin{window}[2,r,\includegraphics[width=1.0in]{atom.jpg},\centerline{The Atom}] The \verb+multicols+ package allows using multiple columns without starting a new page. Using floats is not possible in a columns environment, however with the \verb+picinpar+ package, I can set a picture inside a block of text---just like you one you see here. Isn't \LaTeX{} cool? And now we're just filling more space, and yet more space. \end{window} \closearticle \headline{\it\huge Another Headline} This is just an example to fill up some space, but as long as I have your attention, I'll give some newspaper advice. It's good to use different fonts for each headline. This particular font was accomplished with the command \verb+\headline{\it\huge Another Headline}+. The headline in the preceding article was accomplished with the command \verb+\byline{\sc\Large Geek Designs New \LaTeX{} Package}{Matthew Allen}+. Of course the commands don't look so nice when they're set in column format. Look at the example file if you have any questions as to how this example was created. I suppose we could also show how an equation is type set: \begin{displaymath} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \end{displaymath} and there you have it. \closearticle } \end{multicols} \end{document}
