    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.

\twocolumns
\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.
