\_codedecl \begmulti {Balanced columns <2022-11-26>} % preloaded in format
\_doc -----------------------------
\`\_betweencolumns` or \`\_leftofcolumns` or \`\_rightofcolumns` include
a material printed between columns or left of all columns or right of all
columns respectivelly. The \^`\_betweencolumns` must include a
stretchability or a material with exactly \^`\colsep` width. You can
redefine these macros. For example the rule between colums can be reached
by `\_def\_betweencolumns{\hss\vrule\hss}`.\nl
\`\_multiskip` puts its material at the start and at the end of
\^`\begmulti`...\^`\endmulti`.
\_cod -----------------------------
\_def\_betweencolumns{\_hss} \_def\_leftofcolumns{} \_def\_rightofcolumns{}
\_def\_multiskip{\_medskip} % space above and below \begmulti...\endmulti
\_doc -----------------------------
The code used here is documented in detail in the \"\TeX/book naruby", pages 244--246,
free available, \url{http://petr.olsak.net/tbn.html}, but in Czech.
Roughly speaking, macros complete all material between
\`\begmulti``<num-columns>` and \`\endmulti`
into one `\vbox 6`. Then the macro measures the amount of free space at the current
page using `\pagegoal` and `\pagtotal` and does `\vsplit` of `\vbox 6` to
columns with a height of such free space. This is done only if we have
enough amount of material in `\vbox 6` to fill the full page by columns.
This is repeated in a loop until we have less amount of material in `\vbox 6`.
Then we run \`\_balancecolumns` which balances the last part of the columns.
Each part of printed material is distributed to the main vertical list as
`\hbox{<columns>}` and we need not do any change in the output routine.
If you have paragraphs in \^`\begmulti`... \^`\endmulti` environment then
you may say `\raggedright` inside this environment and you can re-assign
`\widowpenalty` and `\clubppenalty` (they are set to 10000 in \OpTeX/).

\`\_setcolsize``<dimen>` sets initial value `\dimen1=<size>` which is
used as height of columns at given page.
The correction `\splittopskip`$-$`\topskip` is done if the columns start
at the top of the page.\nl
\`\_createcolumns` prepares columns with given height `\dimen1` side
by side to the `\box1`.\nl
\`\_printcolumns` prints the columns prepared in `\box1`.
The first `\hbox{}` moves typesetting point to the next baseline.
Next negative skip ensures that the first line from
splitted columns is at this position.
