Abbreviation: ã|\twcã%
Parameters: ã|noneã%
ã|Description:ã%
The \twocolumns markup formats text in two columns with identical width.
The column widths and gutter are calculated automatically within the
specified margins. The default width of both columns is 48% of the
galleywidth. The default gutter width is 4% of the galleywidth.
The Flexible format 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 \twocolumns 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.
