-\maketitle
-\begin{paracol}{2}[\section{Introduction}]
-This document describes the usage of yet another multi-column package named
-\textsf{paracol}. The unique feature of the package is that columns are
-typeset {\em in parallel.}
-
-Suppose you are writing a bilingual document whose left column is written in
-a language, say English, and right column has the translation of the left
-column in another language, e.g. Japanese. With the \textsf{paracol}
-package you may write an English part of arbitrary length and then {\em
-switch} to its Japanese counterpart to place both parts side by side. Of
-course you may return to the English writing similarly.
-
-The column switching is always allowed when you complete an outermost level
-paragraph. You may be unaware whether a column is broken into multiple
-pages before switching because the package automatically goes back and
-forward to the correct page and vertical position when you switch the
-column. Moreover, you may {\em synchronize} columns so that the tops of
-the first paragraphs after switching in all columns are vertically aligned.
-At a synchronization point, you may give a single-column text, for example
-a common section header, optionally. You may also switch single-column and
-multi-column in a page arbitrary.
-
-This manual itself is an example of two-column documents typeset by
-\textsf{paracol}. Since the author is not familiar with languages other
-than English and Japanese and the latter should be hardly understood by
-most of readers, the right column is the translation of the left English
-column into a computational language. That is, the right column is the
-\LaTeX{} source code of the left column\footnote{Not really but its essence
-is shown.}.

-\switchcolumn*[\section{Basic Usage}]
-Loading the package is very simple. What you have to do is

-\switchcolumn*
-The fundamental means of parallel-column typesetting are the environment
-\|paracol| and the command \|\switchcolumn|. The \|paracol| environment
-needs an argument to specify the number of columns. Thus the following is
-the basic construct for two-parallel-column documents.
-\begin{quote}
-\|\begin{paracol}{2}|\\
-\textit{left column text}\\
-\|\switchcolumn|\\
-\textit{right column text}\\
-\|\switchcolumn|\\
-\textit{left column text}\\
-\|\switchcolumn|\\
-\textit{right column text}\\
-\|\switchcolumn|\\
-\mbox{\hspace{4em}}$\vdots$\\
-\|\end{paracol}|
-\end{quote}
-
-\switchcolumn
-\begin{Verbatim}

-and the command \|\switchcolumn|. ...

-\end{Verbatim}

-\switchcolumn[0]
-The \|\switchcolumn| command may have an
-optional argument to specify the column
-number (zero origin) to start. ...
-\end{Verbatim}
-
-\switchcolumn[0]
-The \|\switchcolumn| command may have an optional argument to specify the
-column number (zero origin) to start. That is, \|\switchcolumn[0]| means to
-switch to the leftmost column, \|\switchcolumn[1]| is to start the second
-column and so on. Thus the \|\switchcolumn| without the optional argument
-may be considered as \|\switchcolumn[|$i+1\bmod{n}$\|]| where $i$ is the
-last column number and $n$ is the number of columns given to \|paracol|
-environment.
-
-
-
-\switchcolumn[0]*[\section{Column Synchronization}\label{sec:sync}]
-The \|\switchcolumn| command may also be followed by a `\|*|' to {\em
-synchronize} columns. After you switch from a column to another by
-\|\switchcolumn*| (or \|\switchcolumn[|$i$\|]*|), all the columns are
-vertically aligned at the bottom of the {\em deepest} one preceding the
-command. For example, the previous section has three \|\switchcolumn*|
-commands at which left and right columns are vertically aligned.
-
-The {\em starred} version of \|\switchcolumn| may have an optional argument
-to specify a multi-column text whose bottom is the vertical alignment
-points of the columns. For example, \|\section| commands in this manual are
-given as optional arguments of\break\|\switchcolumn*| like;
-\begin{Verbatim}
- \switchcolumn*[\section{Basic Usage}]
-\end{Verbatim}
-The \|paracol| environment may also start with a multi-column text by
-specifying it as the optional argument of \|\begin{paracol}|. For example,
-at the beginning of this document, the author put;
-\begin{Verbatim}
- \begin{paracol}[\section{Introduction}]
-\end{Verbatim}
-

-\begin{Verbatim}

-\begin{column*}[\section{Environments for Columns}\label{sec:env}]
-\subsection{Environment \texttt{column}}
-The \|\switchcolumn| is simple but you may prefer to pack the contents of a
-column in an environment. The \|column| environment is available for this
-well-structurization of \LaTeX{} sources for parallel columned documents. A
-construct;
-\begin{quote}
-\|\begin{column}|\\
-\textit{text for a column}\\
-\|\end{column}|
-\end{quote}
-is (almost) equivalent to;
-\begin{quote}
-\|\switchcolumn|\\
-\textit{text for a column}
-\end{quote}
-The \|column*| environment is also available for the column synchronization
-and may have an optional argument for multi-column text.

-\end{table}
-\subsection{Figures and Tables}
-As shown in this page, double-column figures\slash tables (or those spanned
-multiple columns if you have three or more) may be placed by \|figure*| and
-\|table*| environments as usual. A single-column figure\slash table will be
-placed in the column in which you put \|figure| and \|table|. For example,
-the contents of \|figure| environment in a \|leftcolumn| environment is
-\emph{always} placed in a left column. That is, even if the column of the
-\emph{current} page does not have enough room to place the figure, it will
-not thrown to the right column but will be placed in the left column of the
-next page\footnote{%
-%
-Or some farther page if \LaTeX{} cannot solve the placement problem wisely.}.
-%
-
-Another caution about float placement is that you have to be careful when
-you try to put a top-float explicitly with \|t|-option or implicitly without
-placement option (i.e., \|tbp| in most classes) and to synchronize columns.
-The rule is as follows; after you synchronize columns in a page, the page
-cannot have top-floats any more. When you synchronize columns,
-\textsf{paracol} fixes a virtual horizontal line in the page as the
-synchronization barrier. Thus no top-floats cannot be added above the
-line\footnote{%
-%
-Even if you have enough space above, sorry.}.
-%
-Therefore, the author put two \|figure| environments for the figures shown
-in the previous page into the \|leftcolumn*| and \|rigtcolumn| environment
-for the previous section.
-
-\subsection{Footnotes and Marginal Notes}
-Footnotes are also put at the bottom of the column in which \|\footnote|
-commands and their references (like this\footnote{%
-%
-An example of footnote.})
-%
-reside, as shown in page~2 and this page. Marginal notes
-behave similarly like what you are seeing in the left margin of this
-sentence\marginpar{%
-%
-\raggedright An example of marginal note.}
-%
-and the right marginal note in this page\footnote{%
-%
-If you have three or more columns, marginal notes of the second or
-succeeding columns are placed just right of the column. Thus marginal notes
-of non-leftmost and non-rightmost columns will appear in the space
-separating columns rather than the margin of a page.}.
-
-\subsection{Local and Global Counters}
-You probably found that the numbering of figures and tables is \emph{global}
-while that of footnotes are \emph{local}. That is, the figure in the right
-column of the previous page has number~3 following its left-column
-counterpart Figure~2. The tables in the page are also numbered as 1 and 2
-crossing the column boundary. However, the footnotes in each column have
-their own numbering sequence. Moreover, the footnote numbers in left
-columns are typeset in Roman font while those in right columns have italic
-shapes. Similarly, sub-section numbering is local and the headings in right
-columns have typewriter-face numbers.
-
-This happens because the author declared the counters \|figure| and \|table|
-are \emph{global} in the preamble of this document by saying;
-\begin{itemize}\item[]%{
-\|\globalcounter{figure}|\\
-\|\globalcounter{table}|
-\end{itemize}%}
-and do nothing about \|footnote| and \|subsection| counters. By default,
-all the counters except for \|page| are local to columns. The value of a
-local counter of a column is saved somewhere when you leave the column, and
-it is restored when you revisit the column. The initial value of the
-local counters are the value they have at \|\begin{paracol}|. After you
-close the \|paracol| environment, the values of the left-most column are
-used for the rest of your document.
-
-If you make a counter global by the command \|\globalcounter|, the
-save/restore operations are not performed to the counter and thus it is
-globally incremented by \|\[ref]|\AB\|stepcounter| or commands such as
-\|\caption| and \|\section|. Note that the value of a global counter
-depends on the place where it is incremented (or set) in the \emph{source
-code} rather than where it appears in the output. Thus if the author put a
-\|table| environment here to increment \|table| counter, the right-column
-table at the bottom of page~\pageref{tab:right} would be Table~3 because its
-\|table| environment does not appear yet in the source code.
-
-Another counter which the author made global in this documnet is
-\|section|. As explained in Section~\ref{sec:sync}, an optional
-multi-column text of column switching is considered as in the left-most
-column. Since \|\section| commands in this document are always multi-column
-texts, so far, it seems unnecessary to make \|section| global because it is
-incremented correctly in the left-most column. However, the stepping
-\|section| has a side effect to reset its decendent counter \|subsection|
-and referred from \|\thesubsection| command. Thus if \|section| were local,
-the right-column sub-sections in Section~\ref{sec:env} would be numbered as
-``0.1'', ``0.2'' and ``0.3'' because the local value of \|section| would be
-zero. Moreover, the right-column sub-sections of this section would be
-``0.4'', ``0.5'' and ``0.6'' because stepping \|section| local to
-left-columns would not reset \|subsection| local to right-columns.
-
-You may give a local appearance to a counter \textit{ctr} for the $i$-th
-column (zero origin) by a command;
-\begin{itemize}\item[]%
- \|\definethecounter{|\textit{ctr}\|}{|$i$\|}{|\textit{def}\|}|
-\end{itemize}%}
-where \textit{def} is to be the body of the local definition of
-\|\the|\textit{ctr}. For example, the preamble of this document has the
-following to give non-default defitions to \|\thefootnote| and
-\|\thesubsetion| for right columns.
-%
-\begin{Verbatim}
- \definethecounter{footnote}{1}{%
- \textit{\arabic{footnote}}}
- \definethecounter{subsection}{1}{%
- \texttt{%

-\section{Closing \texttt{paracol} Environment and Page Flushing}
-The final example shown here is this single-column text which the author put
-after \|paracol| environment is closed. As you are seeing, \|paracol|
-environment can be finished at any vertical position in a page and can be
-followed by ordinary single column texts.
-
-\begin{paracol}{2}
-\begin{leftcolumn}
-The environment may also be restarted anywhere you like as shown here.
-
-The last issue is to flush a page. The ordinary \|\newpage| command works
-as you expect. If you say \|\newpage| in the left column in a page, the
-contents following it will appear in the left column in the next page. Note
-that this does not affects the layout of the right column.
-
-To flush all columns in a page, a command \|\flush|\AB\|page| is available.
-This command in $i$-th column is almost equivalent to;
-\begin{itemize}\item[]%{
-\|\switchcolumn[|$i$\|]*[\newpage]|
-\end{itemize}%}
-but more robust\footnote{%
-%
-For example \texttt{\string\switchcolumn*} may flush a page for the
-synchronization and thus \texttt{\string\newpage} may leave an empty page.}.
-%
-The ordinary page breaking command \|\clearpage| may also be used to flush
-all columns and to start a fresh page, but it has a side effect to put all
-figures and tables which are not yet output.

+% \section{Overview}
+% \label{sec:imp-ovv}
+%
+% \subsection{Column-Pages}
+% \label{sec:imp-ovv-colpage}
+%
+% In our parallel multi-column typesetting, a column may grow independently
+% of other columns and may cross its page boundary asynchronously with
+% others. Therefore, we cannot throw away the contents of a column in a
+% page, or {\em\Uidx\colpage} in short, when a page break occurs in the
+% column. Instead, we have to keep \colpage{}s until all columns are
+% {\em\Uidx\sync{}ed} implicitly or explicitly.
+%
+% The {\em\Uidx\imsync} takes place when all columns in a page see
+% page-breaks to let the page is shipped out. In general, all columns but
+% the last one which arrives the page-break have completed \colpage{}s in the
+% page in question and some of them may have succeeding \colpage{}s.
+% Therefore, we maintain the list of completed \colpage{}s
+% $\Uidx\S_c=|\pcol@shipped|{\cdot}c$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{c}{\pcol@shipped}
+% 
+% for each column $c\In0\C$, where $\Uidx\C=\!\pcol@ncol!$ is the number of
+% columns given through the argument of \env{paracol} environment, and the
+% set of them $\Uidx\SS=\Set{\S_c}{c\In0\C}$.
+%
+% Each element $\Uidx\s_c(p)$ of a list $\S_c$ is an \!\insert! whose
+% \!\vbox! contains the
+% $p$-th completed \colpage\footnote{
+% 
+% Other registers such as \cs{count} are not used.},
+% 
+% where $p=0$ for the first \colpage{} produced in \env{paracol}
+% environment or that following a page flushing macro \!\flushpage! or
+% \!\clearpage!. That is, $\S_c$ is defined as follows, where
+% $\Uidx\pbase=\!\pcol@basepage!$ is the zero-origin ordinal of the
+% {\em\Uidx\bpage} being the oldest page not shipped out yet.
+% 
+% \begin{eqnarray*}
+% \S_c&=&(\s_c(\pbase),\s_c(\pbase{+}1),\ldots,\s_c(\pbase{+}k{-}1))\\
+% &=&\!\@elt!\,\s_c(\pbase)\;\!\@elt!\,\s_c(\pbase{+}1)\;\cdots\;
+% \!\@elt!\,\s_c(\pbase{+}k{-}1)
+% \end{eqnarray*}
+% 
+% Note that a list $\S_c$ can be empty and all members $\SS$ may be empty.
+%
+% The other type of \sync{}ation, {\em\Uidx\exsync}, takes place by
+% \!\switchcolumn!|*| or the beginning of starred \csenv{}s, by
+% \Endparacol, or by one of page flushing macros \!\flushpage! and
+% \!\clearpage!. A flushing \exsync{} ships out the pages from $\pbase$ to
+% $\Uidx\ptop=\!\pcol@toppage!$ being the ordinal of the {\em\Uidx\tpage}
+% to which the most advanced {\em\Uidx\lcolumn} has reached. On the other
+% hand, other non-flushing \exsync{} keeps the page $\ptop$ from being
+% shipped out because the \colpage{}s in it will grow further.
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Current Column-Pages and Their Contexts}
+% \label{sec:imp-ovv-ccol}
+%
+% We also have to maintain another type of \colpage{}s which are currently
+% built, or {\em\Uidx\ccolpage{}s} in short, to switch from a column to
+% another. Since each column may have its own {\em context} for the
+% typsetting of it, or {\em\Uidx\cctext} in short, it were perfect to save
+% the context when we leave from a
+% column and to restore that when we revisit the column if we could.
+% However, \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} has a tremendously large number of context
+% variables and the number become virtualy boundless when we take variables
+% defined in various styles and by users themselves into account.
+% Therefore, we have to abandon to keep the whole context of the column but
+% carefully chose a small subset comprising variables automatically modified
+% outside of users' control. That is, the \cctext{}
+% $\Uidx\cc_c=|\pcol@col|{\cdot}c$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{c}{\pcol@col}
+% 
+% of a column $c$ consists of the following elements, each of which named
+% $e$ is referred to as $\cc_c(e)$ hereafter.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item $\Uidx\vb$
+% represents $\!\insert!{\cdot}\vb$ containing the followings.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% $\vb^b=\!\box!{\cdot}\vb=\!\@holdpg!$ is the \!\vbox! containing the main
+% vertical list which has already contributed to the \ccolpage{}.
+%
+% \item
+% $\vb^p=\!\count!{\cdot}\vb=\!\pcol@page!$ means the \ccolpage{} belongs to
+% the page $\vb^p$.
+%
+% \item
+% $\vb^r=\!\dimen!{\cdot}\vb=\!\@colroom!$ is the room of the column.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\ft=\!\pcol@currfoot!$
+% is the \!\insert! containing the footnotes added in the \ccolpage. Its
+% constituent \!\box!, \!\count!, \!\dimen! and \!\skip! are denoted as
+% $\ft^b$, $\ft^c$, $\ft^d$, $\ft^s$ respectively.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\pd=\!\pcol@prevdepth!$
+% is the depth of the last vertical item in $\vb^b$ obtained by
+% \!\prevdepth!.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\tl=\!\@toplist!$
+% is the list of top floats inserted in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\ml=\!\@midlist!$
+% is the list of mid floats inserted in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\bl=\!\@botlist!$
+% is the list of bottom floats inserted in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\dl=\!\@deferlist!$
+% is the list of in-column floats deferred to the next \colpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\tf=\!\pcol@textfloatsep!$
+% is the vertical skip replaced with \!\textfloatsep! for top floats in the
+% \ccolpage{} if it has \sync{}ation points, or $\infty$ otherwise.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\fh=\!\@textfloatsheight!$
+% is the total height of mid floats and their separators in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\mb=\!\@mparbottom!$
+% is the bottom position of the last \!\marginpar! staff in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\tn=\!\@topnum!$
+% is the maximum number of top floats which the \ccolpage{} can accommodate
+% further.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\tr=\!\@toproom!$
+% is the room for top floats in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\bn=\!\@botnum!$
+% is the maximum number of bottom floats which the \ccolpage{} can accommodate
+% further.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\br=\!\@botroom!$
+% is the room for bottom floats in the \ccolpage.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\cn=\!\@colnum!$
+% is the maximum total number of floats which the \ccolpage{} can accommodate
+% further.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\sw$
+% is the following encoding of \CSIndex{if@nobreak} and
+% \CSIndex{if@afterindent} at the time we left from the column $c$.
+% $$
+% \sw=\cases{0&$\CSIndex{if@nobreak}=\false$\cr
+% 1&$\CSIndex{if@nobreak}=\true\;\land\;
+% \CSIndex{if@afterindent}=\true$\cr
+% 2&$\CSIndex{if@nobreak}=\true\;\land\;
+% \CSIndex{if@afterindent}=\false$}
+% $$
+% Note that we have only three states because \CSIndex{if@afterindent} is
+% meaningful only when $\CSIndex{if@nobreak}=\true$\footnote{
+% 
+% If only with the standard \LaTeX{} and so far.}.
+%
+% \item $\Uidx\ep=\!\everypar!$
+% is the tokens stored in \!\everypar! at the time we left from the column
+% $c$.
+% \end{itemize}
+% 
+% Note that we could add other variables to the saved context and/or provide
+% some API macro to define them by users, but abandon them because it should
+% be too complicated for users\footnote{
+% 
+% And for the author if we include save/restore of macros, though it could
+% be done with a \cs{token} containing the \cs{def}initions of macros.}.
+% 
+% Also note that we provide a save/restore mechanism for \lcounter{}s as
+% discussed in \secref{sec:imp-ovv-counter}.
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Pages and Their Contexts}
+% \label{sec:imp-ovv-page}
+%
+% Besides the \colpage{}s, we have to keep track each whole page not yet
+% shipped out but has some complete or incomplete (i.e., current) \colpage{}s.
+% We maintain the list;
+% 
+% \SpecialMainIndex{\pcol@pages}
+% 
+% \begin{eqnarray*}
+% \Uidx\PP
+% &=&\!\pcol@pages!=(\Uidx\pp(\pbase),\pp(\pbase{+}1),\ldots\pp(\ptop{-}1))\\
+% &=&\!\@elt!\,\pp(\pbase)\;\!\@elt!\,\pp(\pbase{+}1)\;\cdots\;
+% \!\@elt!\,\pp(\ptop{-}1)
+% \end{eqnarray*}
+% 
+% where $\pp(p)$ is a {\em\Uidx\pctext} of $p$ being an integer whose
+% meaning is defined as follows.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item $\pp(p)<0$\\
+% $\pp(p)$ is equal to the (negative) value of the counter \counter{page}
+% (i.e. \!\c@page!) for the page $p$, which we refer to as $\Uidx\page(p)$
+% hereafter.
+%
+% \item $0\leq\pp(p)<256$\\
+% The page $p$ has multi-column floats or the single-column
+% {\em\Uidx\preenv} preceeding \beginparacol{} in the {\em\Uidx\spage}
+% where it resides and spannig all columns. $\pp(p)=i$ represents
+% $\!\insert!{\cdot}i$ for those {\em\Uidx\spanning} whose registers have
+% the followings.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% $\pp^b(p)=\!\box!{\cdot}i$ contains the \spanning.
+%
+% \item
+% $\pp^p(p)=\!\count!{\cdot}i=\page(p)$.
+%
+% \item
+% $\pp^h(p)=\!\dimen!{\cdot}i=\!\@colht!$ if positive for the height of
+% columns shrunken by the \spanning. If negative, the page is only for
+% the \spanning, i.e. a {\em\Uidx\fpage}. We use the notation $\pp^h(p)$
+% for the pages $\pp(p)\notin\LBRP0{256}$ to mean \!\textheight!.
+%
+% \item
+% $\pp^t(p)=\!\skip!{\cdot}i=\!\pcol@topskip!$ being the value of
+% \!\topskip! at \beginparacol{} to be inserted at the top of each column in
+% non-first page. Otherwise, i.e., for the columns in the \spage{}
+% following the \preenv{}, it has 0 to prevent the \!\topskip! insertion.
+% We use the notation $\pp^t(p)$ for the pages $\pp(p)\notin\LBRP0{256}$ to
+% mean \!\pcol@topskip!.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% \item $\pp(p)\geq256$\\
+% $\pp(p)=\page(p)+256$ to represent non-negative value $\page(p)$.
+% \end{itemize}
+% 
+% The reason why we keep track of $\page(p)$ is that page numbering is not
+% necessrary to be consecutive. If such a {\em jump} occurs randomly in any
+% columns explicitly updating \counter{page}, it is very tough to give a
+% consistent view of the page number of a specific page to all columns.
+% Therefore we suppose jumps occur only in the leftmost column 0\footnote{
+% 
+% But we neither inhibit nor nullify a jump in non-leftmost column and thus
+% the update can be seen referring to \cs{page} counter explicitly.}
+% 
+% which controls the page numbering, while non-leftmost columns are expected
+% to refer the \counter{page} passively.
+%
+% This page numbering is implemented as follows. Each time a \colpage{} at
+% $p$ of the leftmost column is completed to start a new \colpage{},
+% $\page(p)$ is fixed to be the value of \counter{page} and
+% $\page(q)$ represented by $\pp(q)$ for all $q\in[p,\ptop]$ are let be
+% $\page(p)+(q-p)$. This update also takes place on \cswitch{} from the
+% leftmost column building a \colpage{} at $p$ to another column so that a jump
+% happning before the switching is notified to other columns. On the other
+% hand, starting or \cswitch{} to a non-leftmost \colpage{} at $p$
+% lets \counter{page} have $\page(p)$ referring to $\pp(p)$, unless
+% the column starts the most advanced \tpage. In this new \tpage{} case,
+% $\pp(\ptop{+}1)$ is added to $\PP$ to represent $\page(\ptop)+1$ which
+% \counter{page} is let have, and $\ptop$ is incremented.
+%
+% Note that this management is imperfect because direct references of
+% \counter{page} in non-leftmost columns can give inconsistent results if
+% \counter{page} is modified in a non-leftmost column or the reference occurs
+% in a page $p$ after that the leftmost column modifies \counter{page} in a
+% page $q$ such that $q\leq p$. However, it is expected that the progress
+% of the leftmost column usually preceeds other columns to give consistent
+% \counter{page} reference even with jumps. More importantly, it is assured
+% that indirect refereces through |.aux| records and page numbers recorded
+% in |.toc|, |.idx|, and so on are always consistent because of the lazy
+% evaluation of \counter{page} at shipping-out of a whole page.
+%
+% Also note that we also keep $\pp(\ptop)$ in \Midx{\!\pcol@currpage!}
+% which is initialized by \!\pcol@output@start! to represent the \!\insert!
+% for the \spanning{} preceding \beginparacol. Then the macro is redefined
+% to have the value representing the new page in \!\pcol@startpage!, by
+% itself or \!\pcol@setordpage! invoked from the macro, to start the
+% page\footnote{
+% 
+% Other \!\def!initions of \!\pcol@currpage! in \!\pcol@setpnoelt!,
+% \!\pcol@output@start!, and \!\pcol@freshpage! are for coding trick and
+% thus not for giving a really new \!\def!initions.}.
+% 
+% We denote the concatenation of $\PP$ and $\pp(\ptop)$ as $\Uidx\PPP$ to
+% represent all pages {\em on-the-fly}.
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Counters}
+% \label{sec:imp-ovv-counter}
+%
+% Besides the context variables discussed in \secref{sec:imp-ovv-ccol}, we
+% need to make counters local to each column except for those declared to be
+% global by \!\globalcounter!. Let $\Uidx\CC$ be the set (list) of all
+% counters declared before \beginparacol, i.e., $\CC=\!\cl@@ckpt!$, and
+% $$
+% \Uidx\CG=\!\pcol@gcounters!=\{\Uidx\cg_1,\ldots\}=\!\@elt!|{|\cg_1|}|\cdots
+% $$
+% be the set of {\em\Uidx\gcounter{}s} which have declared so by
+% \!\globalcounter!|{|$\cg_i$|}|. Then the set of {\em\Uidx\lcounter{}s}
+% $\Uidx\CL$ is defined as follows.
+% 
+% \SpecialMainIndex{\pcol@counters}
+% $$
+% \CL=\CC-\CG=\!\pcol@counters!=\{\Uidx\cl_1,\ldots\}=\!\@elt!|{|\cl_1|}|\cdots
+% $$
+%
+% Since each column has its own values in \lcounter{}s, we have to keep the
+% set of counter\slash value pairs
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{c}{\pcol@counters}
+% $$
+% \Uidx\Cc_c=\!\pcol@counters!{\cdot}c=\{\<\cl_1,\val_c(\cl_1)\>,\ldots\}
+% =\!\@elt!|{|\cl_1|}||{|\val_c(\cl_1)|}|\cdots
+% $$
+% for each column $c$, where $\Uidx\val_c(\cl_i)$ is the value of a counter
+% $\cl_i$ local to $c$. That is, whenever we switch from a column $c$ to
+% $d$, we save $\<\cl_i,\val_c(\cl_i)\>$ in $\Cc_c$ and restore $\cl_i$ for
+% $d$ by letting it have $\val_d(\cl_i)$ in $\Cc_d$, for all $\cl_i\in\CL$.
+%
+% A \gcounter is free from these save\slash restore operations but needs
+% another special operation when it is incremented by \!\stepcounter!. That
+% is, the invocation of \!\stepcounter! for a \gcounter{} $\cg_i$ may clear
+% \lcounter{}s in its set of descendant counters
+% $\Uidx\clist(\cg_i)=|\pcol@cl@|{\cdot}\cg_i$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{\theta}{\pcol@cl@}
+% 
+% and this clearing must be performed on the all instances of
+% $\cl_j\in\clist(\cg_i)$ saved in $\Cc_c$ for all $c\In0\C$. Therefore, on
+% the \!\stepcounter!, we do the followings for all $c\In0\C$; temporarily
+% restore all $\cl_k\in\CL$ from $\Cc_c$; clear all $\cl_j\in\clist(\cg_i)$;
+% and then save $\<\cl_k,\val_c(\cl_k)\>$ back to $\Cc_c$.
+%
+% The other item we maintain for a \lcounter{} $\cl$ is its {\em\Uidx\lrep}
+% $\arg{rep}$ in a column $c$ defined by
+% $\!\definethecounter!\<\cl\>\<c\>\arg{rep}$. The \lrep{} $\arg{rep}$ is
+% kept in $|\pcol@thectr@|{\cdot}\cl{\cdot}c$ and is made \!\let!-equal to
+% $|\the|{\cdot}\cl$ when the column $c$ is visted.
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{\theta{\cdot}c}{\pcol@thectr@}
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\the}
+%

+%
+% \section{Interaction with \TeX{} and \LaTeX{}}
+% \label{sec:imp-tex}
+%
+% The macros of \Paracol{} interacts with \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} through
+% various registers and macros as discussed in this section.
+%
+% \subsection{Registers}
+% \label{sec:imp-tex-reg}
+%
+% \subsubsection{Insertion Registers}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\footins!}]
+% has footnotes \!\insert!ed in a page by \!\footnote! and \!\footnotetext!.
+% The register is referred to by \!\pcol@makenormalcol! to combine footnotes
+% to other \preenv{} to make a \spanning, and by \!\pcol@output@switch!
+% to save it in $\cc_c(\ft)$ when we leave from the column $c$. The macro
+% \!\pcol@restartcolumn! restores $\cc_d(\ft)$ to the register by

+%
+% \item[\rm\Uidx{\!\bx@A!}, \ldots, \Uidx{\!\bx@R!}]
+% have floats created by \!\@xfloat! in the ordinary usage of \LaTeX. In

+% to examine if $\!\outputpenalty!=-10004$ for a dummy \!\output! request
+% made by \LaTeX's float-related macros and our \!\pcol@invokeoutput! to
+% ensure the real request is not eliminated when it is made at the very
+% beginning of a page or a \colpage.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\@topnum!}]
+% is a \!\count! register to have the maximum number of top floats which the
+% \ccolpage{} can accept further. It is used in \!\pcol@setcurrcol!
+% and \!\pcol@iigetcurrcol! to save\slash restore it into\slash from

+% \subsubsection{Dimension Registers}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\vsize!}]
+% is \TeX's primitive register to have the height of a page or a \colpage{}
+% being built. It is let be \!\@colroom! or \!\maxdimen! by
+% \!\pcol@output!.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\hsize!}]
+% is \TeX's primitive register to have the width of a page or a \colpage{}
+% being built. It is let be \!\columnwidth! by \!\paracol!, while
+% \!\pcol@mctext! and \!\endparacol! let it be \!\textwidth!.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\maxdepth!}]
+% is \TeX's primitive register to have the maximum depth of the page being
+% built. It is referred to by \!\pcol@cflt! to let \!\boxmaxdepth! of
+% \!\@outputbox!, in which top floats and the main vertical list are
+% combined, be \!\maxdepth!.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\boxmaxdepth!}]
+% is \TeX's primitive register to have the maximum depth of \!\vbox!es.
+% The macro \!\pcol@cflt! let it be \!\maxdepth! for \!\@outputbox! in which
+% top floats and the main vertical list are combined, while the macro
+% \!\pcol@makenormalcol! let it be \!\@maxdepth! for \!\@outputbox! in which
+% \preenv{} is hold.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\prevdepth!}]
+% is \TeX's primitive register to have the depth of the box which just has
+% been added to a vertical list, or to be given to \TeX's vertical list
+% builder for the calculation of the vertical skip inserted below the last
+% box. The macro \!\pcol@invokeoutput! refers to it to save its value in
+% \!\pcol@prevdepth! before putting a dummy \!\vbox! and making a \!\output!
+% request, and then let it have \!\pcol@prevdepth! which is given by
+% \!\output! routine for the column that we resume. The macro \!\paracol!
+% also refers to it to save it in \!\pcol@firstprevdepth! for the \preenv.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\maxdimen!}]
+% is a \!\dimen! register to have $16383.99999\,|pt|$ being the largest
+% legal dimensional value. The usages of this register are as follows.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% In \!\pcol@output!, it is set into \!\vsize! when $\!\outputpenalty!=-10004$
+% for the dummy \!\output! request so that no page break should occur
+% between the dummy and real requests.
+%
+% \item
+% Our own \!\dimen! register \!\pcol@textfloatsep! has \!\maxdimen! if a
+% \colpage{} does not have \sync{}ation points to let top floats are
+% inserted in usual way. Therefore, \!\pcol@floatplacement! and \!\paracol!
+% let the register have \!\maxdimen! as the initial value. Then the macros
+% \!\pcol@makecol! and \!\pcol@combinefloats! examine if
+% $\!\pcol@textfloatsep!=\!\maxdimen!$ to determine the operation type of
+% top float insertion. The macro \!\pcol@addflhd! also examines it for the
+% measurement of the combined height of top and bottom floats, while
+% \!\pcol@measurecolumn! gives it \!\maxdimen! as its third argument for
+% bottom floats.
+%
+% \item
+% The \pctext{} $\pp^h(p)$ has $-\!\maxdimen!$ if the page is a \fpage{}.
+% The macro \!\pcol@startpage! makes that when it creates such a page.
+%
+% \item
+% Our own \!\pcol@prevdepth! and that saved in $\cc_c(\pd)$ have
+% \!\maxdimen! if the main vertical list is empty at a \sync{}ation. The
+% macro \!\pcol@measurecolumn! makes it when it finds a empty list.
+%
+% \item
+% The \cctext{} $\cc_c(\tr)$ may have \!\maxdimen! if the column $c$ has a
+% \fcolumn{} in the \lpage{} of \env{paracol} environment and the floats in
+% it can be put as top floats. The macro \!\pcol@makefcolumn! makes this
+% special assignment and \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! examines it.
+%
+% \item
+% At a \sync{}ation, we measure the maximum combined size of top floats and
+% the main vertical list $\VT$, that of footnotes and bottom floats $\VB$,
+% and that of four items $\VP$. We also let $\DT$ and $\DP$ be the minimum
+% depth of the \colpage{}s which gives $\VT$ and $\VP$ respectively. For
+% the measurement, the macro \!\pcol@sync! lets $\VT=\VB=\VP=-\!\maxdimen!$
+% and $\DT=\DP=\!\maxdimen!$ as their initial values. Then the macro
+% \!\pcol@synccolumn! examines if $\DT=\!\maxdimen!$ to mean the
+% \sync{}ation point is set just below the top floats of a column whose main
+% vertical list is empty. On the other hand, \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! and
+% \!\pcol@output@end! examine if $\VP=-\!\maxdimen!$ to mean the last page is
+% empty.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\textheight!}]

+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\columnwidth!}]
+% is a \!\dimen! register for an API parameter of \LaTeX{} to have the width
+% of a column. After the register is initialized by \!\paracol! according

+% put each \colpage{} into a \!\hbox! of \!\columnwidth! wide for shipping a
+% page out. The register is also let have \!\textwidth! by \!\endparacol!
+% for \postenv.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\linewidth!}]
+% is a \!\dimen! register for an API parameter of \LaTeX{} to have the width

+% \item
+% \!\pcol@output@start! moves it to \!\@dbldeferlist! because it is created
+% before \beginparacol.
+%
+% \item
+% \!\pcol@setcurrcol! and \!\pcol@igetcurrcol! saves\slash restores it

+% \!\pcol@synccolumn! lets the main vertical list in $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ be a
+% float, namely {\em\mvlfloat} to be added to this list. Another case is for
+% a \fcolumn{} in the \lpage{} for which \!\pcol@makefcolumn! and

+% case, the list is scanned by \!\pcol@makefcolumn! itself or by
+% \!\pcol@makeflushedpage!.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\@botlist!}]
+% is an internal macro having the list of single-column floats which is
+% decided to be put at the bottom of the \ccolpage{} by float environments or
+% by \!\pcol@trynextcolumn!. The emptiness of this list examined by
+% \!\pcol@combinefloats! to invokes the scanner \!\@cflb! unless empty. The
+% list is also scanned by \!\pcol@measurecolumn! for the measurement of the

+% respectively.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\@midlist!}]
+% is an internal macro having the list of in-text floats which has already
+% been put in the \ccolpage{} but is kept to check the ordering of the
+% succeeding floats. The list is emptied by \!\pcol@makenormalcol! after
+% returning all elements in it to \!\@freelist!, while \!\pcol@setcurrcol!
+% and \!\pcol@igetcurrcol! saves\slash restores the list in/from
+% $\cc_c(\ml)$ respectively.
+%
+% \item[\Uidx{\!\cl@@ckpt!}]
+% is an internal macro having the list of all counters defined by
+% \!\newcounter! and the counter \counter{page}. The original usage of this
+% macro is to log the values of all counters into |.aux| by \!\include!, but
+% we use it to obatin all counters in \!\paracol!.
+%
+% \item[$\cs{cl@}{\cdot}\theta$]
+% is an internal macro having the list $\clist(\theta)$ of descendant
+% counters of the counter $\theta$ whose increment by \!\stepcounter! lets
+% them 0. The macro \!\pcol@remctrelt! moves it to

+% \section{Register Declaration}
+% \label{sec:imp-decl}
+%
+% \subsubsection{\cs{count} Registers}
+%
+% Here we declare registers and switches. The first group is for \!\count!
+% registers.
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@currcol}
+% The register \!\pcol@currcol! has the zero-origin ordinal $c$ of the
+% column which we were in when \!\output! is invoked. Therefore, for
+% example, in the process of \!\switchcolumn!, the register has $c$ from
+% which we are switching to another column. The register is initialized to
+% be 0 by \!\pcol@output@start!, and then set to $\!\pcol@nextcol!=d$ by
+% \!\pcol@restartcolumn! to switch to (or stay in) $d$. Note that these two
+% assignments are \!\global! while other macros may {\em locally} use the
+% register to, for example, scan all columns $c\In0\C$. Besides two macros
+% above, the following macros refer to the register to know which column we
+% are in (or which column is processed by their invokers).
+%

+% \!\pcol@switchcol!,
+% \!\pcol@aconlyelt!,
+% \!\pcol@com@flushpage!,
+% \!\pcol@com@clearpage!.
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% The following macros use the register for the scan of all $c\In0\C$ by
+% themselves or their invokers.
+% 
+% \begin{quote}\raggedright
+% \!\pcol@output@start!,
+% \!\pcol@output@switch!,

+% \!\pcol@synccounter!,
+% \!\pcol@com@syncallcounters!,
+% \!\pcol@stepcounter!.
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@nextcol}
+% The register \!\pcol@nextcol! has the zero-origin ordinal $d$ of the
+% column to which we are switching, or in which we are staying. The main
+% usage of the register is to set the switching target in
+% \!\pcol@switchcolumn!, but other macros use it to specify the (temporary)
+% target of \!\pcol@switchcol!; 0 in \!\paracol!, \!\pcol@mctext!,
+% \!\endparacol!; and $c=\!\pcol@currcol!$ in \!\pcol@com@flushpage! and
+% \!\pcol@com@clearpage! to stay in the current column $c$.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@ncol}
+% The register \!\pcol@ncol! has the number of columns $\C$ given as the
+% argument of \!\paracol! being the sole modifier of the register. The
+% following macros refer to the register to scan all columns $c\In0C$.
+% 
+% \begin{quote}\raggedright
+% \!\pcol@checkshipped!,
+% \!\pcol@outputelt!,
+% \!\pcol@output@start!,

+% \!\pcol@flushfloats!,
+% \!\pcol@freshpage!,
+% \!\pcol@output@end!,
+% \!\pcol@synccounter!,
+% \!\pcol@com@syncallcounters!,
+% \!\pcol@stepcounter!,
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% The other references are made by \!\pcol@com@switchcolumn! and
+% \!\pcol@switchcolumn! to examine $c<\C$.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@page}
+% The register \!\pcol@page! has the zero-orgin ordinal $p$ of the page
+% which we are in. The register is intialized to be 0 not only by
+% \!\pcol@output@start! to give the obvious starting point, but also by
+% \!\pcol@freshpage! for page flushing which clears $\PP=\!\pcol@pages!$ to
+% give us another type of starting point. Then the register is incremented
+% by \!\pcol@nextpage! to advance one page, by \!\pcol@nextpelt! to skip a
+% \fpage, by \!\pcol@startpage! to start a new page, and by
+% \!\pcol@output@clear! for pages of \fcolumn{}s and \fpage{}s. The other
+% type of updates of the register is done by \!\pcol@restartcolumn! which
+% let $p$ be $\cc_c(\vb^p)$ when we revisit the column $c$ belonging to the
+% page $p$. Note that, besides these \!\global! updates,
+% \!\pcol@flushcolumn! locally updates the register to scan
+% $\PP=\!\pcol@pages!$, and \!\pcol@freshpage! also performs local updates
+% but in more weird manner. Besides the updates discussed above, the
+% macros \!\pcol@opcol!, \!\pcol@setpageno!, \!\pcol@getcurrpage! and
+% \!\pcol@output@switch! refer to the register to know which page they are
+% operating on.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@basepage}
+% The register \!\pcol@basepage! has the ordinal $\pbase$ of the \bpage{}
+% being the oldest page not shipped out yet. The register is initialized to
+% be 0 by \!\pcol@output@start! and \!\pcol@freshpage! together with
+% \!\pcol@page!, and then incremented by \!\pcol@outputelt! when it ships
+% the page $\pbase$ out. The macros \!\pcol@setpageno!, \!\pcol@nextpage!
+% and \!\pcol@getcurrpage! refer to the register in their scans of $\PP$ or
+% $\PPP$ to know the zero-origin ordinal of the element for the current page
+% $p$ is $p-\pbase$.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@toppage}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Renamed from \cs{pcol@maxpage}.}
+% 
+% The register \!\pcol@toppage! has the ordinal $\ptop$ of the \tpage{}
+% having the most advanced \colpage{}s, or {\em\Uidx\lcolpage{}s} in short.
+% The register is initialized to be 0 by \!\pcol@output@start! and
+% \!\pcol@freshpage! together with \!\pcol@page!, and then let be
+% $p=\!\pcol@page!$ by \!\pcol@startpage! to start a new page $p$. The
+% macro \!\pcol@opcol! refers to the register to examine if the \ccolpage{}
+% explores a new page, while \!\pcol@flushcolumn! examines if the
+% \ccolpage{} is behind the top page.

+% \subsubsection{Switches}
+%
+% The second declaration group is for switches.
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@nospan}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Renamed from \cs{pcol@textonly}.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@nospan| is true iff a page $p$ does not have
+% \spanning, i.e., $\pp(p)<0$ or $\pp(p)\geq256$. It is set by
+% \!\pcol@setpnoelt! for its local use, and by \!\pcol@getpinfo! for the
+% examination in \!\pcol@outputelt!, \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! and
+% \!\pcol@output@end!.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@sync}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Add initialization to be $\mathit{false}$.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@sync| is true iff \!\pcol@output@switch! is invoked
+% from \!\pcol@mctext! or \!\pcol@iswitchcolumn! via \!\output! for
+% \sync{}ing column switching. Besides being turned true by these macros,
+% the switch is turned false by \!\pcol@sync! after the \sync{}ation to give
+% the default state.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@mctext}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced to restrict the broadcast of \cs{if@nobreak} and
+% \cs{everypar} only when a column-switching is accompanied with
+% multi-column text.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@mctext| is true iff \!\pcol@output@switch! is invoked
+% from \!\pcol@mctext! to put \mctext. The switch is turned false by
+% \!\pcol@output@switch! to give the default state after it examines the
+% switch to {\em broadcast} \CSIndex{if@nobreak} and \!\everypar! to all
+% columns if true.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@clear}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Add initialization to be $\mathit{false}$.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@clear| is true iff \!\pcol@output@switch! is invoked
+% from \!\pcol@make~flushedpage! to flush pages. The macro
+% \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! also turns the switch false after the invocation
+% of \!\pcol@output@switch! to give the default state. The macros
+% \!\pcol@sync! and \!\pcol@flushcolumn! being descendats of
+% \!\pcol@output@switch! also examine the switch.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@outputflt}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Renamed from \cs{ifpcol@stopoutput} with the reversal.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@outputflt| is used in \!\pcol@outputelt! to know
+% whether a \fpage{} is to be shipped out ($\true$) or not. The switch is
+% initialized to be $\true$ by \!\pcol@outputpage! which invokes
+% \!\pcol@outputelt! for all $\pp(p)\in\PP$. Then if \!\pcol@outputpage! is
+% invoked from \!\pcol@opcol! to ship the oldest page $\pbase$ out, the
+% switch is turned $\false$ when we visit the second non-\fpage. That is,
+% all \fpage{}s following the first (oldest) page are shipped out but others
+% are not. On the other hand, if \!\pcol@outputpage! is invoked from
+% \!\pcol@sync! to ship out all pages including \fpage{}s in $\PP$, the
+% switch is kept $\true$ throughout all invocations \!\pcol@outputelt!.
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\ifpcol@lastpage}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced for special operations in the last page.}
+% 
+% The switch |\ifpcol@lastpage| is used to know whether they works on the
+% {\em\Uidx\lpage} of \env{paracol} environment in the following macros
+% to do special operations if so.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% \!\pcol@makecol! does not make \!\@textbottom! have inifinite stretch and
+% shrink even if the \lpage{} has \sync{}ation point.
+%
+% \item
+% \!\pcol@combinefloats! adds \!\textfloatsep! below bottom floats of each
+% column if any so that the floats are well sepearated from the \postenv.
+%
+% \item
+% \!\pcol@makefcolumn! trys to make deferred floats as top floats.
+% \end{itemize}
+% 
+% The switch is initialized to be $\false$ by \!\paracol! and then turned
+% $\true$ by \!\pcol@output@end! which may also turned it $\false$ again for
+% \fpage{}s following the \lpage{} if any.

+%
+%
+% \subsubsection{\cs{dimen} and \cs{skip} Registers}
+%
+% The last declaration group is for three \!\dimen! and one \!\skip!
+% registers.
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@prevdepth}
+% The \!\dimen! register \!\pcol@prevdepth! is set to the depth of the last
+% item added to the main vertical list of column $c$ from which we switch to
+% another column $d$, i.e., \!\prevdepth! seen in \!\pcol@invokeoutput!
+% before \!\output! request. The value of the register is then set into

+% 
+% The \!\dimen! (not \!\skip!) register \!\pcol@textfloatsep! has
+% \!\maxdimen! if a \colpage{} does not have \sync{}ation points, to let top
+% floats are inserted in usual way. If it has, the register may hold the

+% \!\textfloatsep! so that, if a column only with top floats defined the
+% first \sync{}ation point, the space for floats are extended to the
+% \sync{}ation point. In this extension case, the register has the amount
+% above biased by 10000\,|pt| to distinguish the case from another case with

+% In addition, if the register is less than \!\maxdimen! including a value
+% equal to \!\textfloatsep!, top floats are packed in a \!\vbox! so that
+% stretch\slash shrink factor of \!\floatsep! cannot move \sync{}ation
+% points. After the default setting to be \!\maxdimen! by \!\paracol! and

+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@makecol}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced for special float handling in a column-page with
+% synchronization point.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@makecol! is invoked solely from \!\pcol@output! to build
+% the shipping image of the \ccolpage{} which just has completed in
+% \!\@outputbox!. This macro just invokes its original version \!\@makecol!
+% if $\cc_c(\tf)=\infty$ to mean the \colpage{} does not have \sync{}ation
+% points. Otherwise, \!\@makecol! is invoked too but with a special
+% \!\def!inition of \!\@textbottom! to put a vertical skip having
+% $1/1000\,|fil|$ as its stretch and shrink. This modification is to
+% nullify not only finite stretches (as \!\raggedbottom! does) but also
+% finite shrinks possibly inserted just below the last \sync{}ation point to
+% move up the first visible item upward a little bit if active. Therefore,
+% \!\flushbottom! setting is nullified for \colpage{}s having \sync{}ation
+% points and a small exceess from the bottom of a \colpage{} cannot be
+% absorbed by shrinks but visible at the bottom\footnote{
+% 
+% That is, the author gives higher priority to the perfect alignment of the
+% items following a \sync{}ation point.}.
+% 
+% Note that the original definition of \!\@textbottom! is saved in
+% \Midx{\!\pcol@textbottom!} before the invocation of \!\@makecol! and is
+% restored after that\footnote{
+% 
+% This save/restore cannot be done by a grouping because \!\@makecol! builds
+% \!\@outputbox! by local assignments.}.

+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced for special float handling in a column-page with
+% synchronization point.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@combinefloats! is our own version of \!\@combinefloats!
+% which is used in \!\@makecol! and \!\pcol@makenormalcol!. Since the
+% original and our own are made \!\let!-equal by \!\paracol!, our own is
+% active throughout the environment. The customization is twofold for both
+% of top and bottom floats.
+%
+% For the top floats, we invoke the original \!\@cflt! if
+% $\cc_c(\tf)=\infty$ to mean the \colpage{} to be shipped out does not have
+% \sync{}ation points, or our own \!\pcol@cflt! which we will discuss
+% shortly. For the bottom floats, we invoke the original \!\@cflb! always
+% but, if $\CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage}=\true$ to mean the \colpage{} is in the
+% \lpage, we insert \!\textfloatsep! in
+% \!\@outputbox! below the bottom floats so that they are well separated
+% from \postenv. We also insert a vertical skip whose natural height is 0
+% but shrink is the natural height of \!\textfloatsep! because the
+% \colpage{} can be taller than the height specified by \!\@colht! by up to
+% this amount.
+%
+% Note that the macro acts exactly same as the original when it is invoked
+% from \!\pcol@makenormalcol! because \!\pcol@textfloatsep! and
+% \CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage} has their initial values $\infty$ and $\false$
+% given by \!\paracol!.

+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@cflt}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced for special float handling in a column-page with
+% synchronization point.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@cflt! is invoked solely from \!\pcol@combinefloats! if
+% the \colpage{} for which the macro combines the top floats has
+% \sync{}ation points. The macro has the same structure as \LaTeX's version
+% \!\@cflt! but has two modification. The first one is the floats are
+% packed in a \!\vbox! rather than listed in \!\@outputbox! to nullify the
+% stretch and shrink of \!\floatsep! to keep the \sync{}ation point from
+% moving by them\footnote{
+% 
+% Maybe unnecessary because of \!\@textbottom! inserted by \!\pcol@makecol!
+% but \ldots}.
+% 
+% The second is that the \!\textfloatsep! is replaced with
+% $\!\pcol@textfloatsep!=\cc_c(\tf)$ (definitely finite) which can have a
+% value different from \!\textfloatsep! when the float space is enlarged for
+% \sync{}ation. If this enlargement is required, $\cc_c(\tf)$ is biased by
+% 10000\,|pt| and thus is assuredly\footnote{
+% 
+% Though not definitely in theoretical sense.}
+% 
+% larger than 5000\,|pt|. If so, the insertion of \!\topfigrule! should be
+% inhibited because it has already been inserted by \!\pcol@synccolumn! or
+% there are no real floats but we only have the float for main vertical list
+% prior to the \sync{}ation point, or {\em\Uidx\mvlfloat} in short.

+% {Rename \cs{pcol@maxpage} as \cs{pcol@toppage}.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@opcol! is invoked from \!\pcol@output! for the ordinary
+% completed \colpage{} built by \!\pcol@makecol!, or from the loop creating
+% \fcolumn{}s in \!\pcol@output! or \!\pcol@freshpage!. At first it
+% saves the \colpage{} of column $c$ in \!\@outputbox!, which
+% \!\pcol@makecol! or \!\@tryfcolumn! just has built for an ordinary or
+% \fcolumn{} respectively, in an \!\insert! acquired from \!\@freelist! by
+% \!\@next!, and then adds it to the tail of $\S_c=|\pcol@shipped|{\cdot}c$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{c}{\pcol@shipped}
+% 
+% by \!\@cons!. Then if $c=0$, we fix the page number of the page $p$
+% having the \colpage{} and let $\pp(q)$ represent $\page(p)+(q-p)$ for all
+% $q\in[p{+1},\ptop]$ by \!\pcol@setpageno!. After that, we invoke

+% $p'=p+1$ usually but can be $p+k+1$ if we have consectutive $k$ \fpage{}s
+% from $p+1$.
+%
+% Next, we check if the oldest page $\pbase$ is made ready to be shipped out
+% by the participation of the completed \colpage{} by \!\pcol@checkshipped!.
+% If so, we invoke \!\pcol@outputpage! giving argument 0 to ship out
+% $\pbase$ and its successor \fpage{}s.
+%
+% Finally we set up the next page $p$ by \!\pcol@startpage! if $p>\ptop$

+% {Rename \cs{ifpcol@textonly} as \cs{ifpcol@nospan}.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@setpageno! is invoked from \!\pcol@opcol! when it
+% proceeses the \colpage{} of the first column $c=0$ to fix the page number
+% $\page(p)\gets\counter{page}=\!\c@page!$ of the page $p=\!\pcol@page!$
+% having the \colpage{}. It is also invoked from \!\pcol@output@switch!
+% when it leaves from the first column to reflect a jump of \counter{page}
+% made in the column building. In both cases, the macro lets $\pp(q)$
+% represent $\page'(q)=\page(p)+(q-p)$ for all $q\in[p,\ptop]$.
+%
+% Since we possibly have to update $\pp(q)$ such that $q\geq p$, at first we
+% temporarily let
+% $\Uidx\PPP=(\PP,\pp(\ptop))=\!\pcol@pages!\!\pcol@currpage!$ empty
+% after copying its original value into $\mathit{\Pi}'=\!\reserved@a!$.
+% Then we scan $\pi'(q)\in\mathit{\Pi}'$ for all $q\in[\pbase,\ptop]$ by
+% applying \!\pcol@setpnoelt! to each $\pi'(q)$ to update $\pp(q)$ as
+% follows.
+% 
+% $$
+% \pp(q)=\cases{
+% \pi'(q)& $q<p$\cr
+% \page'(q)&
+% $q\geq p\;\land\;\pi'(q)\notin[0,255]\;\land\page'(q)<0$\cr

+% \page'(q)+256&
+% $q\geq p\;\land\;\pi'(q)\notin[0,255]\;\land\page'(q)\geq0$}
+% $$
+% For the update shown above, the macro \!\pcol@setpnoelt! for $\pi'(q)$ at
+% first add $\pp(q-1)$ to the tail of $\PPP$ where $\pp(\pbase-1)$
+% is defined as empty. Then for $q$ such that $q\geq p$, it invokes
+% $\!\pcol@setordpage!$ to let $\pp(q)=\page'(q)<0$ or
+% $\pp(q)=\page'(q)+256\geq256$ if $\pi'(q)\notin[0,256]$ for an orginary
+% page without \spanning, or lets $\pp^p(q)=\page'(q)$
+% otherwise. Note that we let \!\c@page! have $\page'(q)$, but this
+% assignment is temporary and \!\c@page! will regain the value $\page(p)$
+% after \!\pcol@setpageno! finishes.

+% The macro \!\pcol@startpage! is invoked from \!\pcol@opcol! with

+% from \!\pcol@output@start! or \!\pcol@freshpage! with
+% $\!\pcol@currpage!=|{}|$ and $\!\c@page!=\page(p)$ to start a new page
+% $p=0$.
+%
+% First, we let $\!\pcol@firstprevdepth!=\!\relax!$ to mean we have (had)
+% left from the first page of \env{paracol} environment so that
+% \!\pcol@output@end! will be informed of that. Next we let $\ptop=p$ and
+% then, if invoked from \!\pcol@opcol!, lets $\!\c@page!=\page(p{-}1)+1$
+% invoking \!\pcol@getcurrpinfo! to have $\page(p{-}1)$ in \!\c@page! from
+% $\pp(p{-}1)$ and \!\stepcounter! to increment it, and
+% $\PP\gets\PPP=(\PP,\pp(p{-}1))$. Then we let $\!\@colht!=\!\textheight!$
+% as the base value without \spanning, and $\!\topskip!=\!\pcol@topskip!$
+% because the new page is the second or succeeding one built in
+% \env{paracol} environment.

+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Add special operation in case of too small room for column-pages.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@output@start! is invoked solely from
+% \!\pcol@specialoutput! to process the special \!\output! request made in
+% \!\paracol! and to build the {\em\Uidx\spage} from which parallel columns
+% start. First we invoke \!\pcol@makenormalcol! to let \!\@outputbox! have
+% the stuff preceding \beginparacol{}, or {\em\Uidx\preenv} in short, in the
+% \spage{} as its \spanning. Then we shrink \!\@colht! by the sum of the
+% height $h$ and depth $d$ of the \spanning. Next we let $p=\pbase=\ptop=0$
+% and $\PP=()$ because we have nothing for $q<\ptop=0$. We also move
+% \!\@deferlist! to \!\@dbldeferlist! and then let \!\@deferlist! be empty
+% because all single-column dererred floats become multi-column.
+%
+% Then we examine if $\!\@colht!<1.5\times\!\baselineskip!$ to mean
+% \!\pcol@output! would force a page break with warning. If so, we ship out
+% the \preenv{} by \!\@outputpage! to avoid the break and warning, and
+% invoke \!\pcol@startpage! for the \spage{} $\ptop=0$ letting $\pp(0)$ be
+% empty so that the macro will not refer to it. We also let \!\topskip! be
+% the value at \beginparacol, i.e., \!\pcol@topskip! because the first item
+% of each column will start from the top of the \spage.
+%
+% Otherwise, the \spanning{} are moved in $\pp^b(0)$ which is acquired from
+% \!\@freelist! by \!\@next!, and $\pp^p(0)$ and $\pp^h(0)$ are let be
+% \!\c@page! and \!\@colht! respectively for \spage. As for $\pp^t(0)$, we
+% let it be \!\topskip! if $h=d=0$ assuming that the page does not have any
+% \spanning{} to typeset \colpage{}s from the top of the page. Otherwise,
+% i.e., either $h\neq0$ or $d\neq0$, $\pp^t(0)$ and \!\topskip! are let be 0
+% to inhibit the ordinary \!\topskip! insertion.
+%
+% Then for the both cases, we initialize \!\@colroom! to be \!\@colht!, and
+% invoke \!\pcol@floatplacement! to reinitialize the parameters of
+% single-column float placement.

+% 
+% Then for all columns $c\In0\C$ we do the followings to build $\cc_c$.
+% First, if we have let $\!\topskip!=0$ with the \preenv,
+% we let $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ have an invisible \!\hrule! whose
+% height and depth are 0 as the very first vertical item of the \colpage.
+% When we visit the column $c$ for the first time afterward, we will
+% \!\unvbox! the box to let \TeX's page builder have $\!\topskip!=0$ and the
+% invisible rule. Then the first vertical item of the \colpage{} is added
+% but it is recognized as non-first by \TeX's page builder and thus it
+% inserts \!\baselineskip! referring to \!\prevdepth! as the depth of the
+% last item. The important issue is that the \!\prevdepth! to be referred
+% is assured having its value at \beginparacol, which is usually the depth
+% of the last item of \spanning, by the following mechanism: (1)
+% \!\pcol@invokeoutput! invoked in \!\paracol! saves \!\prevdepth! in
+% \!\pcol@prevdepth! before the \!\output! request for
+% \!\pcol@output@start!; (2) \!\pcol@prevdepth! is saved in $\cc_c(\pd)$ by
+% \!\pcol@setcurrcolnf! invoked from \!\pcol@output@start! as discussed
+% afterward; (3) when the column $c$ is visited for the first time, the
+% special output routine \!\pcol@output@start! itself ($c=0$) or
+% \!\pcol@output@switch! ($c>0$) restores \!\pcol@prevdepth! from
+% $\cc_c(\pd)$ by \!\pcol@getcurrcol!; (4) \!\pcol@invokeoutput! which made
+% the \!\output! request for (3) lets \!\prevdepth! have the value of
+% \!\pcol@prevdepth! after the request. Therefore, the baseline progress
+% from the last line of the \spanning{} to the first line of each
+% \colpage{} should be very natural as we see in the third and fourth lines
+% of \secref{sec:man-close}.

+% The macro \!\pcol@output@switch! is invoked from

+% \!\pcol@switchcol! and to switch from a column $c=\!\pcol@currcol!$ to
+% $d=\!\pcol@nextcol!$ which can be $c$. The macro also is invoked from
+% \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! to \sync{}e and to flush all \ccolpage{}s
+% but staying in $c$.
+%
+% First, we acquire an \!\insert! to be $\cc_c(\vb)$ and to store the

+% {Add measurement of $D_T$.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@sync! is invoked solely from \!\pcol@output@switch! for
+% \exsync{} with page flushing ($\CSIndex{ifpcol@clear}=\true$) or without
+% it. First we invoke \!\pcol@flushcolumn! for all $c\In0\C$ to flush the
+% \ccolpage{} of $c$ into $\S_c$ if the \colpage{} is not in $\ptop$, i.e.,
+% $\cc_c(\vb^p)<\ptop$ and then, if we have deferred floats, to
+% ship out following \fpage{}s up to $\ptop-1$ into $\S_c$ and to place top
+% and/or bottom floats in $\ptop$. Then we ship out all pages $p$ such that
+% $p<\ptop$ by \!\pcol@outputpage! giving argument 1. After that, we obtain
+% the \pctext{} of $\ptop$ by \!\pcol@getcurrpinfo!.
+%
+% Next, we measure the vertical sizes of the contents in the \ccolpage{} of
+% $c$ which is now in $\ptop$ for all $c\In0\C$ by \!\pcol@measurecolumn! as
+% follows, where $h(x)$ and $d(x)$ are the height and depth of an object $x$
+% respectively.

+% \Uidx\DP&=&\!\@pagedp!=\min\Set{\dc}{\Size_c(\{t,m,f,b'\})=\VP}\\
+% \end{eqnarray*}
+% 
+% That is, $\VT$ is the maximum of combined vertical size (height plus
+% depth) of the top floats and the main vertical list, and $\VB$ is that of
+% the footnotes and bottom floats. $\VP$ is the maximum of the sum of all
+% four sizes but we add \!\textfloatsep! if the tallest column has bottom
+% floats. Note that $\VT$ and $\VP$ are $-\infty$ if any \colpage{}s don't
+% have corresponding items, while $\VB=0$ if so.
+%
+% $\DT$ and $\DP$ are the minimum $\pd_c$ and $\dc$ respectively among those
+% gives $\VT$ and $\VP$ respectively, where $\pd_c$ is $\cc_c(\pd)$ if
+% $f_m=\true$ or $\infty$ otherwise, and $\dc$ is 0 if $c$ has bottom float,
+% or the depth of the last footnote if any and without any bottom float, or
+% $\cc_c(\pd)$ otherwise. The reason why $\DT$ and $\DP$ have minimums is
+% that they are set into \!\prevdepth! for the items just following the
+% \sync{}ation point, and thus a smaller value results in a larger interline
+% skip and the special value $-1000\,|pt|$ to inhibit the skip is given the
+% highest priority.
+%
+% Note that $\VP$ and $\DP$ are only for the \lpage{} and thus referred to
+% only by \!\pcol@output@end! to close the environment. The reason why we
+% add \!\textfloatsep! to $\VP$ is to make the last page is well separated
+% from the \postenv{} if the tallest column, taking the addition into
+% account, has bottom floats.
+%
+% As described above, any items can be empty, naturally for top floats,
+% footnotes and bottom floats, but also including main vertical lists if the
+% \ccolpage{}s were not in $\ptop$ before the invocation of
+% \!\pcol@flushcolumn!. Moreover, all main vertical lists can be empty if
+% all \lcolpage{}s just have started (by \!\newpage!, for example). More
+% weirdly, the case of all-empty main vertical lists can be accompanied with
+% non-empty top floats when columns have floats which cannot be put in
+% $\ptop-1$ but are found to be placed in $\ptop$.
+%
+% Therefore, we have to take care of the case $\VT<0$ to mean that all top
+% floats and main vertical lists are empty\footnote{
+% 
+% In usual cases, but it can mean some of them have negative vertical
+% sizes. Even though we can detect such a very unlikely special case, it is
+% very tough to define the reasonable \sync{}ation point above the top of
+% $\ptop$. Therefore, we assume the point is at the top of $\ptop$ and thus
+% do nothing.},
+% 
+% i.e., $\Fc(\{t,m\})=\false$ for all $c\In0\C$, to let succeeding stuff in
+% all \ccolpage{}s are put as if they are preceded by a \!\flushpage!. In
+% other words, we do nothing if $\VT<0$.
+%
+% Then if $\VT\geq0$, we set the \sync{}ation point $\VT$ below the top of
+% $\ptop$. However, since the \sync{}ation {\em pushes down} everything
+% below the main vertical list, footnotes and bottom floats in a \colpage{}
+% $c$ such that $\Size_c(\{t,m\})<\VT$ may be overflown from the bottom of
+% the page. Therefore, we examine $\VT+\VB\geq\!\@colht!$ (it can be
+% $\VT+\VB>\VP$) and if so flush all \ccolpage{}s in $\ptop$ to set the
+% \sync{}ation point at the top of the next page $\ptop+1$. This flush is
+% also done when it is requested explicitly by
+% $\CSIndex{ifpcol@clear}=\true$. That is, we let
+% $\CSIndex{if@tempswa}=\true$ iff one of them holds to flush the
+% \colpage{}s in \!\pcol@synccolumn! invoked for each $c\In0\C$, which sets
+% the \sync{}ation point otherwise. This macro also takes care of the case
+% of $\VT\geq0$ but empty main vertical lists as the special case that $\VT$
+% is given by a column whose main vertical list is empty, i.e., its top
+% float defines the \sync{}ation point. In such a case in which we have
+% $\DT=\infty$, the macro sets the \sync{}ation point at the top of the
+% page for the main vertical list and enlarges the space for top floats if
+% necessary.
+%
+% Finally, we let $\CSIndex{ifpcol@sync}=\false$ to give the default for the
+% next invocation of \!\pcol@output@switch!.

+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@makefcolumn}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Introduced to take special care of the float-column in the last
+% page. }
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@makefcolumn! is invoked solely from \!\pcol@flushcolumn!
+% to put deferred floats in the currently empty \colpage{} of $c$ in the
+% \tpage{} $\ptop$ which is being flushed. Since we have to take special care
+% of the case of environment closing, we cannot do this operation by
+% \!\@makefcolumn!\footnote{
+% 
+% We can do it for other cases of \!\flushpage! and \!\clearpage! but
+% \!\pcol@makefcolumn! covers it easily.}.
+%
+% First, we scan the copy of $\cc_c(\dl)$ applying \!\pcol@makefcolelt! to
+% each element to have the floats to be put in \!\@toplist!, which is
+% assuredly empty because the \ccolpage{} of $c$ has already been shipped
+% out to empty it, and those still deferred in $\cc_c(\dl)$. Prior to scan,
+% we let $H_r=\pp^h(\ptop)+\alpha$ as the space initially available for
+% floats each of which being $\phi$ is assumed to consume
+% $v(\phi)=h(\phi)+d(\phi)+\alpha$, and $H_t=\!\@colroom!=-\alpha$ as the
+% initial value of the accumulated size of $v(\phi)$ for all $\phi$ to be
+% put, where $\alpha=\!\floatsep!$ if $\CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage}=\true$
+% 
+% \SpecialIndex{\ifpcol@lastpage}
+% 
+% as discussed afterward, or $\alpha=\!\@fpsep!$ otherwise.
+%
+% Then if the resulting \!\@toplist! is not empty\footnote{
+% 
+% It can happen if the first float is larger than $\pp^h(\ptop)$.},
+% 
+% we examine if $\ptop$ is the \lpage{} ($|\ifpcol@|\~|lastpage|=\true$)
+% and $\cc_c(\dl)$ is empty to mean the last \colpage{} have all deferred
+% floats. This case is subtle because if we make the \colpage{} a \fcolumn{}
+% it can be sparse and unnecessarily throw the \postenv{} to the next
+% page. Therefore, we intend to pack floats to the page top as top floats
+% and thus have let $\alpha=\!\floatsep!$ in the building process of
+% \!\@toplist! above\footnote{
+% 
+% We dare to do it knowing the natural component of \!\floatsep! is a little
+% bit (4pt) larger than that \!\@fpsep! and the possibility of having
+% fewer floats than those given by \!\@makefcolumn!.},
+% 
+% but it may make a too tall \colpage{} only having floats shrinking
+% the \postenv{} in the page. In addition, if other columns have
+% \fpage{}s in the \lpage, packing the floats as top floats should give
+% inconsistent appearance but we don't know whether the columns following
+% $c$ has \fpage{}s. Therefore, we performs this float packing if making
+% the \fpage{} gives too sparse, more specifically if
+% $H_t<\!\floatpagefraction!\times\pp^h(\ptop)=\!\@fpmin!$, but postpone the
+% final decision until all columns are processed by \!\pcol@flushcolumn!.
+% That is, if the all conditions above hold, we keep \!\@toplist! so that it
+% is saved in $\cc_c(\tl)$ and let $\cc_c(\tr)=\infty$ to indicate that the
+% column has pending floats.
+%
+% Otherwise, i.e., if we make a \fcolumn{} in the \lpage, we put all floats in
+% \!\@toplist! in $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ of $\pp^h(\ptop)$ tall, together with
+% \!\vskip! of \!\@fptop! and \!\@fpbot! at the top and bottom and that of
+% \!\@fpsep! between floats as \!\@makefcolumn! does. Note that the last
+% \!\vfilneg! is to cancel \!\vfil! which will be inserted at the bottom by
+% \!\pcol@synccolumn!. Then we return all floats in \!\@toplist! to
+% \!\@freelist! and empty the list.

+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@synccolumn}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Drastically changed to correctly implement the top float
+% enlargement and MVL-float.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@synccolumn! is invoked for each column $c\In0\C$ from
+% \!\pcol@sync! to set a \sync{}ation point at $\VT$ from the top of the
+% \ccolpage{} of $c$ if $\CSIndex{if@tempswa}=\true$, or flush it otherwise.
+% After obtaining $c$'s \cctext{} $\cc_c$ by \!\pcol@getcurrcol!, we process
+% one of the following three cases.
+%
+% The first non-flushing case is for $\DT=\infty$ to mean the \sync{}ation
+% point is set just below the top floats of a column whose main vertical
+% list is empty. In this case, we should not put anything back to the main
+% vertical list, because the column having defined the point will restart
+% from the top of its \colpage{} with \!\topskip! and thus other columns
+% should do so for the stuff following the point. Therefore, we put
+% $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ as the last top float, namely {\em\Uidx\mvlfloat} because
+% it is for the main vertical list, acquiring an \!\insert! from
+% \!\@freelist! by \!\@next! and assigning it to \Midx{\!\pcol@float!} so
+% that we pretend main vertical lists of all columns are empty. The float
+% has zero height and depth and $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ is put in it following a
+% vertical skip of $-\!\floatsep!$ to go back to the bottom of the last real
+% float, and \!\topfigrule! and a skip of \!\textfloatsep! to separate it
+% from the last real float, if we have some floats. Otherwise, neither of
+% the skips nor \!\topfigrule! are put because we let
+% $\!\floatsep!=\!\textfloatsep!=0$ and $\!\topfigrule!=\!\relax!$
+% temporarily in a group. Then we set the \sync{}ation point by enlarging
+% the space below the \mvlfloat{} so that the total size of all floats
+% including \!\floatsep! and \!\textfloatsep!, which may be 0 as set in the
+% process above, is equal to $\VT$. This enlarging is done by letting
+% $\cc_c(\tf)=\VT-\vc(t)+\!\textfloatsep!-\!\floatsep!$ so as to enlarge the
+% space by $h_c^v=\VT-\vc(t)$ replacing \!\textfloatsep! with $\cc_c(\tf)$
+% in the top float insertion process\footnote{
+% 
+% This enlarging cannot be done by making the float's height
+% $h_c^v-\!\floatsep!$ (or \!\textfloatsep!) because the height can be
+% negative.}.
+% 
+% Note that $\cc_c(\tf)$ is then biased by 10000\,|pt| so that \!\pcol@cflt!
+% will not put \!\topfigrule! because it has been already put as a part of
+% the \mvlfloat{} or we don't have any real floats. We also let
+% $\cc_c(\pd)=1000$ to mean the \colpage{}'s main vertical list is empty, so
+% as to mimic \TeX's mechanism of \!\prevdepth! with an empty
+% list\footnote{
+% 
+% The author is not sure if this setting is really necessary but, at least,
+% it looks working well (though other setting looks all right too).}.
+%
+% Note that \colpage{}s with $\cc_c(\tf)=\infty$ does not have any
+% \sync{}ation points, and thus $\cc_c(\tf)<\infty$ means a \sync{}ation has
+% already taken place in them. If this $\cc_c(\tf)<\infty$ happens with
+% $\DT=\infty$\footnote{
+% 
+% This can happen when a \sync{}ation with $\DT=\infty$ is immediately
+% followed by another \sync{}ation or, more unlikely, by additions of
+% items whose total amount is negative and then a \sync{}ation.},
+% 
+% we cannot update $\cc_c(\tf)$ because \!\pcol@measurecolumn! took care of
+% its value on measuring $\vc(t)$. Therefore, we do nothing if
+% $\cc_c(\tf)<\infty$ but just let succeeding stuff be added to the main
+% vertical list as in \cswitch{} without \sync{}ation.

+ \endgroup \fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% The second case is also non-flushing but $\DT<\infty$ and thus most
+% usual. In this case, we enclose everything in $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ in a \!\vbox!
+% whose height is $h_c^v$ and let $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ have it so that the
+% item following the \sync{}ation point start at $\VT$. An attention we
+% have to pay is that it can be $h_c^v<\!\topskip!$ to let \TeX{} insert a
+% vertical skip of the difference when the box is returned to the main
+% vertical list pushing down the \sync{}ation point a little bit.
+% Therefore, if so, we let $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ have the followings; a \!\vbox! of
+% \!\topskip! tall having its old contents at its top above which no
+% vertical skip will be inserted; a vertical skip $-\!\topskip!$ going back
+% to the page top; and a vertical skip $h_c^v$ going down to the
+% \sync{}ation point.
+%
+% Note that, in both cases of $h_c^v<\!\topskip!$ or not, we insert an
+% infinite stretch of $1/1000\,|fil|$ at the bottom of $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ to push
+% up its old contents respecting other infinite stretches if any, as done by
+% \!\raggedbottom!\footnote{
+% 
+% This means finite stretches are nullified. We could respect them by
+% obtaining the total amount of them in \!\pagestretch! together with
+% infinite ones to let stretches act as much as possible especially with
+% \!\flushbottom! setting. However, this improvement (if so) is too small
+% to pay a tough coding effort.}.
+% 
+% In addition, we let $\cc_c(\pd)=\DT$ to {\em broadcast} $\DT$ to all
+% columns by which the baselines of first items following the \sync{}ation
+% point are aligned, if $\DT$ plus the hight of each item is less than
+% \!\baselineskip!. Further, we let $\cc_c(\tf)=\!\textfloatsep!$ to
+% indicate the \colpage{} has the \sync{}ation point we just have set, if it
+% was $\infty$ to mean the point is the first one.

+ \else
+ \vbox to\@tempdimb{\unvbox\@currbox \vskip\z@\@plus.0001fil}
+ \fi}%
+ \fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% The third and last case is for flushing. In this case we simply add
+% \!\vfil! and \!\penalty! of $-10000$ to make the \colpage{} is immediately
+% flushed when it is revisited. We also let $\cc_c(\pd)=1000$ to mimic
+% \TeX's \!\prevdepth! with empty main vertical list again.

+% 
+% Finally, we let $\cc_c(\tn)=0$ to inhibit futher addition of top floats
+% because we have fixed the space for them\footnote{
+% 
+% Allowing the addition is tremendously tough even when the \colpage{} has
+% sufficiently large space above the \sync{}ation point.},

+% separating them by \!\hfil! as follows. First, if
+% $\arg{ht}<\!\@colht!=\pp^h(\ptop)$ to mean the invoker is

+% let $\!\@colht!=\arg{ht}$ to let \!\@makecol! build a short \colpage{},
+% saving the original value in \!\@pageht! temporarily. Note that it can
+% be $\arg{ht}>\!\@colht!$ due to the additional \!\textfloatsep! below the
+% bottom floats but this excess is recovered by the shrink following it.
+% Then for each $c$ we obtain $c$'s \cctext{} $\cc_c$ by
+% \!\pcol@getcurrcol!, let $\CSIndex{if@fcolmade}=\true$ if
+% $\cc_t(\dl)\neq()$, move $\cc_c(\vb^b)$ into \!\box!|255|, and let
+% $\footins=\cc_c(\ft)$ by \!\pcol@getcurrfoot! returning it to

+% After that we examine if $\cc_c(\tr)=\infty$ to mean we are working on the

+% top floats, and let $\cc_c(\tr)$ have its original value
+% $\!\floatpagefraction!\times\pp^h(\ptop)$ and $\!\topfigrule!=\!\relax!$
+% temporarily because the floats are not top ones in reality, if so. Then
+% we also check $\arg{ht}=\pp^h(\ptop)$ to mean the \lpage{} is full size.
+% If both of them hold, the floats in $\cc_c(\tl)$ should be (or may be) put

+%
+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@output@end}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Drastically changed to take special care of float columns in the
+% last page, to deal with the empty last page with and without
+% deferred floats, and to try to make post-environment float pages.}
+% 
+% The macro \!\pcol@output@end! is invoked solely from
+% \!\pcol@specialoutput! to process the \!\output! request made by
+% \!\endparacol!. We invoke \!\pcol@makeflushedpage!, after letting
+% $\CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage}=\true$ to notify it of the \lpage{}
+% production, giving it $h=\!\pcol@colht!$ in which \!\pcol@sync! sets the
+% height of the tallest \colpage{} to have the shipping-out image of the
+% \tpage{} in \!\@outputbox!. Then we process on of the following cases.
+%
+% The first case is for $\CSIndex{if@fcolmade}=\true$ to mean
+% \!\pcol@makeflushedpage! found columns with deferred floats. Therefore,
+% since we need to have one or more multi-column pages, we ship out the page
+% in \!\@outputpage! setting its height to \!\textheight! adding \!\vfil! at
+% its tail by \!\@outputpage!, unless the \lpage{} is perfectly empty,
+% i.e., $h=-\infty$ and $\CSIndex{ifpcol@nospan}=f_{\it ns}=\true$. Then we
+% invoke \!\pcol@flushfloats! to produce and ship out \fpage{}s. Finally we
+% let $\CSIndex{if@tempswa}=f_{\it sp}=\true$ to remember we will start a
+% new page and thus $\!\@pagedp!=\pd=\DP=1000$ to mimic \TeX's \!\prevdepth!
+% mechanism.
+% 
+% \begin{macrocode}
+%% Special Output Routines: Last Page
+
+\def\pcol@output@end{%
+ \pcol@lastpagetrue \pcol@makeflushedpage\pcol@colht
+ \@tempswafalse
+ \if@fcolmade
+ \ifdim\pcol@colht>-\maxdimen \@tempswatrue \fi
+ \ifpcol@nospan\else \@tempswatrue \fi
+ \if@tempswa
+ \setbox\@outputbox\vbox to\textheight{\unvbox\@outputbox \vfil}%
+ \@outputpage
+ \fi
+ \pcol@flushfloats
+ \@tempswatrue \@pagedp\@m\p@
+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% The second case is for $h=-\infty$ without deferred single-column floats
+% to mean all columns in the \lpage{} are empty. In this case, we examine
+% if $\Midx{\!\pcol@firstprevdepth!}=\!\relax!$ to mean we have had at least
+% one new page in \env{paracol} environment, i.e., \!\pcol@startpage! have
+% been invoked at least once. If so, we let $f_{\it sp}=\true$ and
+% $\pd=1000$ again and put nothing to the main vertical list so that the
+% \postenv{} starts from the top of the page. However, we have to take care
+% of the case that $f_{\it ns}=\false$ and thus \!\@outputbox! has
+% \spanning. If so, we acquire an \!\insert! from \!\@freelist! by
+% \!\@next! to let it have the \spanning, i.e., the contents of
+% \!\@outputbox! except for the last vertical skip being
+% \!\dbltextfloatsep!. Then the \!\insert! is added to the head of
+% \!\@dbldeferlist! with the float placement code 10 to force \LaTeX's float
+% placement mechanism to put it to the page to be started shortly.
+%
+% On the other hand, $\!\pcol@firstprevdepth!\neq\!\relax!$ means that it has
+% $\!\prevdepth!=\pd'$ just before \beginparacol{} in decimal integer
+% representation. Since we have not started any pages in the environment,
+% and all columns in the \lpage{} is empty, we have almost nothing in the
+% environment. Note that the environment can have multi-column floats but
+% they have not yet put into any pages but are kept in \!\@dbldeferlist!.
+% Therefore, the \preenv{} and \postenv{} must be {\em connected} naturally
+% and thus we put the \preenv{} kept in \!\@outputbox! to the main vertical
+% list by \!\unvbox! and let $\pd=\pd'$\footnote{
+% 
+% The author of course know this situation is very unlikely but he is
+% monomaniac.}.
+% 
+% \begin{macrocode}

+ \fi
+ \else \unvbox\@outputbox \@pagedp\pcol@firstprevdepth sp\relax
+ \fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% The last case without deferred floats and with some non-empty columns is
+% most usual. In this case, we simply put \!\@outputbox! letting
+% $\!\topskip!=0$ because \!\topskip! has already been inserted in
+% \colpage{}s or \preenv{} in the box.
+% 
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \else
+ \topskip\z@ \box\@outputbox
+ \fi\fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% The followings are for clean-up and set-up for the \postenv; return all
+% $\cc_c(\vb)$ obtained by \!\pcol@getcurrcol! to \!\@freelist!; let
+% $\!\pcol@prevdepth!=\pd$ so that it is set to \!\prevdepth! by
+% \!\pcol@invokeoutput!; let $\!\@colht!=\!\@colroom!=\!\textheight!$ to
+% mean the single-column page does not have any floats so far because those
+% produced in or before the environment have already been shipped out, are
+% put to the main vertical list packed in \!\@outputbox!, or are in
+% \!\@dbldeferlist!.
+%
+% As for deferred multi-column floats produced in the environment, including
+% those once put in the \lpage{} but returned to the list by the operation
+% described above, we move them to \!\@deferlist! because they are now
+% single-column floats. Then we invoke \!\pcol@floatplacement! to
+% reinitialize float placement parameters. Finally, if $f_{\it sp}=\true$,
+% we invoke \!\@startcolumn! and then repeat invocations of \!\@opcol! and
+% \!\@startcolumn! while \fpage{}s are produced, after letting
+% $\CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage}=\false$ to make \!\@combinefloats! work as
+% \LaTeX's original\footnote{
+% 
+% Letting $\!\pcol@textfloatsep!=\infty$ is done by \!\pcol@floatplacement!.}.

+% \begin{macro}{\pcol@invokeoutput}
+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Let \cs{pcol@prevdepth} have \cs{prevdepth} directly instead of via
+% \cs{tempdima}.}
+% 
+% Before giving the definition of \env{paracol} environment and commands
+% used in it, we define the macro $\!\pcol@invokeoutput!\arg{pen}$ invoked
+% from them to make an \!\output!-request with \!\penalty! of
+% $\arg{pen}=|pcol@op@|{\cdot}f$. The macro's structure is similar to that
+% for the request sequence in \!\end@float! as follows; insert a \!\penalty!
+% of $-10004$ to save the main vertical list in \!\@holdpg!; save
+% \!\prevdepth!; insert a \!\vbox! to make it sure the following \!\penalty!
+% of $\arg{pen}$ is kept even when we are at top of a page; and finally
+% restore \!\prevdepth!.
+%
+% The difference is in the save\slash restore of \!\prevdepth!. First, the
+% value of the register is saved in our own \!\pcol@prevdepth! instead of
+% \!\@tempdima! by a \!\global! assignment so that \!\output!-routine refers
+% to it\footnote{
+% 
+% The assignment is not necessary to be done \!\global!ly but we dare to do
+% it to make all assignments to \!\pcol@prevdepth! being \!\global!
+% consistently.}.
+% 
+% Second, the value restored to \!\prevdepth! may be different from that we
+% just have saved because \!\output!-routine may update \!\pcol@prevdepth!
+% to have, for example, the value saved in $\cc_c(\pd)$ when we left from
+% $c$ which we are now restarting.
+%
+% The macro is invoked from \!\paracol! ($f=|start|$), \!\pcol@switchcol!
+% for \!\switchcolumn! and \csenv{}s ($f=|switch|$), \!\pcol@com@flushpage!
+% for \!\flushpage! ($f=|flush|$), \!\pcol@com@clearpage! for \!\clearpage!
+% ($f=|clear|$), and \!\endparacol! ($f=|end|$).

+% \changes{v1.0}{2011/10/10}
+% {Make API commands environment-local and inhibit nesting of
+% \texttt{paracol}.}
+% 
+% The API macro $\!\paracol!\<\C\>$ is invoked by \beginparacol{} to start
+% \Midx{\env{paracol}} environment. After making it sure to be in vertical
+% mode by \CSIndex{par} and letting $\!\pcol@ncol!=\C$, we set up lists for
+% counters as follows. First we obtain $\CC=\!\cl@@ckpt!$ to have all
+% counters defined by \!\newcounter! and \counter{page}. Then we scan
+% $\CG=\!\pcol@gcounters!$ applying \!\pcol@remctrelt! to each element to
+% have $\CL=\!\pcol@counters!$ for all \lcounter{}s by removing all
+% $\cg\in\CG$ from $\CC$, and to move $\clist(\cg)=|\cl@|{\cdot}\cg$ to
+% $|\pcol@cl@|{\cdot}\cg$ redefining
+% $|\cl@|{\cdot}\cg=\!\pcol@stepcounter!\Arg{\cg}$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\cl@}
+% 
+% to clear descendant \lcounter{}s of $\cg$, i.e., those in $\clist(\cg)$.
+%
+% Next we scan $\CL$ applying \!\pcol@thectrelt! to each element $\cl\in\CL$
+% to let $|\pcol@thectr@|{\cdot}\~\cl=|\the|{\cdot}\cl$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\pcol@thectr@}
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\the}
+% 
+% so that the former has the {\em default} \lrep{} of $\cl$. The macro
+% \!\pcol@thectrelt! also lets
+% $|\the|{\cdot}\cl=|\pcol@thectr@|{\cdot}\cl{\cdot}0$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta{\cdot}c}{\pcol@thectr@}
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\the}
+% 
+% if the \lrep{} for $\cl$ and $c=0$ has been defined by
+% \!\definethecounter!. This is necessary because in the first visit to the
+% leftmost column 0 we will not invoke \!\pcol@switchcol! nor thus scanning
+% $\CL$ with \!\pcol@setctrelt! which defines \lrep{}s, unless a \mctext{}
+% is specified with \beginparacol.
+%
+% Next we give the intial value of $\val_c(\cl)$ for each column $c$ and
+% \lcounter{} $\cl\in\CL$ by the followings enclosed in a group. First we
+% scan $\Cc_0$ applying \!\pcol@loadctrelt! to each
+% $\cl\in\Cc'_0=\Set{\theta}{\<\theta,\val_0(\theta)\>\in\Cc_0}$ to have
+% the value $\val_0(\cl)$ in $|\pcol@ctr@|{\cdot}\cl$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\pcol@ctr@}
+% 
+% temporarily. Next we scan $\CL$ to pick \lcounter{}s $\theta$ such that
+% $\Uidx\Val(\theta)\neq\val_0(\theta)$ where $\Val(\theta)$ is the value of
+% $\theta$ outside \env{paracol} environment, or $\theta\notin\Cc'_0$, to
+% let them be listed in \!\@gtempa!. That is, we pick \lcounter{}s which
+% have been updated or defined after the closing of the previous
+% \env{paracol}, or everything in $\CL$ at the first \beginparacol{} because
+% $\Cc_0=\emptyset$\footnote{
+% 
+% Undefined in fact.}.
+% 
+% Finally, we invoke \!\pcol@synccounter! giving it \!\@gtempa! as its
+% argument to let $\val_c(\theta)=\Val(\theta)$ for all $c$ and for each
+% $\theta$ in \!\@gtempa!. That is, when \env{paracol} environment appears
+% two or more times, the value of a \lcounter{} at the beginning of the
+% second or succeeding environment is kept unchanged from that at the end of
+% the previous environment, unless it has been updated between them. Note
+% that these scans above are enclosed in a group in order to make
+% $|\pcol@ctr@|{\cdot}\cl$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayIndex{\theta}{\pcol@ctr@}
+% 
+% local and thus collected as a garbage at \!\endgroup!.

+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% 
+% Next, we set up a few \LaTeX's typesetting parameters which should have
+% appropriate values in the environment. First we let
+% $$
+% \!\columnwidth!={\!\textwidth!-(\C-1)\!\columnsep!\over\C}
+% $$
+% for $\C$-column typesetting and let \!\hsize! and \!\linewidth! have it as
+% their initial values. We then let $\CSIndex{if@twocolumn}=\true$ and
+% $\CSIndex{if@firstcolumn}=\true$ so that \textit{float}|*| environments
+% work for multi-column floats and \!\marginpar! produces marginal notes
+% appropriately. We also let $\!\col@number!=1$ instead of $\C$ so that
+% its (almost surely) sole user \!\maketitle! will not produce the title
+% with \!\twocolumn! which cannot be in the environment.
+%
+% Then we initialize our own variables; $\!\pcol@topskip!=\!\topskip!$ for
+% the second and succeeding pages; $\!\pcol@textfloatsep!=\infty$ to mean
+% we don't have any \sync{}ation points so far;
+% $\CSIndex{ifpcol@lastpage}=\false$ because the \spage{} is not the last so
+% far; and $\!\pcol@firstprevdepth!=\!\prevdepth!$ in decimal integer form
+% for the extreme empty case. We also make the macro
+% \Midx{\!\@combinefloats!} \!\let!-equal to our own \!\pcol@combinefloats!
+% throughout the environment so that our customization is in effect for any
+% invocations including those from \LaTeX's own macros.

+% \end{macrocode}
+% 
+% Next, we scans the list \!\pcol@localcommands! of $\arg{com}$ being the
+% name of commands, e.g., |switchcolumn|, available only in the environment
+% or customized for the environment, applying \!\pcol@defcomelt! to each
+% $\arg{com}$ to let $|\|\arg{com}=|\pcol@com@|{\cdot}\arg{com}$
+% 
+% \SpecialArrayMainIndex{\<\string\mathit{com}\>}{\pcol@com@}
+% 
+% the latter of which is the real implementation of the former. Note that
+% the list does not have all \elocal{} API commands but we omit
+% \!\column!(|*|) for \env{column}(|*|) environments because their
+% implementations \!\pcol@com@column!(|*|) are modified after the first
+% invocation. Therefore, we \!\def!ine \!\column!(|*|) to have
+% \!\pcol@com@column!(|*|) in their bodies\footnote{
+% 
+% We can do this for other commands instead of adhearing to \cs{let} to
+% eliminate the execption, but the author loves to use \cs{let} as much as
+% possible.}.
+% 
+% We also give the first \!\def!initions of
+% \!\pcol@com@column!(|*|) to let them do nothing but re\!\def!ine
+% themselves by \!\pcol@defcolumn! unless
+% \!\pcol@com@column*! is given an optional \mctext{} argument which is
+% directly processed by \!\pcol@mctext!, if they appear as the first
+% \cswitch{} command\slash environment after \beginparacol. Then we

+% Then we let \!\output! have our output routine \!\pcol@output! as its sole

+% \begin{paracol}{2}[\section{Introduction}]
+% This document describes the usage of yet another multi-column package named
+% \textsf{paracol}. The unique feature of the package is that columns are
+% typeset {\em in parallel.}
+%
+% Suppose you are writing a bilingual document whose left column is written in
+% a language, say English, and right column has the translation of the left
+% column in another language, e.g. Japanese. With the \textsf{paracol}
+% package you may write an English part of arbitrary length and then {\em
+% switch} to its Japanese counterpart to place both parts side by side. Of
+% course you may return to the English writing similarly.
+%
+% The {\em\Uidx\cswitch} is always allowed when you complete an outermost
+% level paragraph. You may be unaware whether a column is broken into
+% multiple pages before switching because the package automatically goes
+% back and forward to the correct page and vertical position when you switch
+% the column. Moreover, you may {\em\Uidx\sync{}e} columns so that the tops
+% of the first paragraphs after switching in all columns are vertically
+% aligned. At a \sync{}ation point, you may give a single-column text,
+% for example a common section header, optionally. You may also switch
+% single-column and multi-column in a page arbitrary.
+%
+% This manual itself is an example of two-column documents typeset by
+% \textsf{paracol}. Since the author is not familiar with languages other
+% than English and Japanese and the latter should be hardly understood by
+% most of readers, the right column is the translation of the left English
+% column into a computational language. That is, the right column is the
+% \LaTeX{} source code of the left column\footnote{Not really but its essence
+% is shown.}\label{firstfootnote}.

+% The fundamental means of parallel-column typesetting are the environment

+% following is the basic construct for two-parallel-column documents.
+% \begin{quote}
+% \!\begin!|{|\env{paracol}|}{2}|\\
+% \textit{left column text}\\

+%
+% \switchcolumn[0]
+% The \!\switchcolumn! command may have an optional argument to specify the
+% column number (zero origin) to start. That is, \!\switchcolumn!|[0]|
+% means to switch to the leftmost column, |\switchcolumn[1]| is to start the
+% second column and so on. Thus the |\switchcolumn| without the optional
+% argument may be considered as \!\switchcolumn!|[|$i+1\bmod{n}$|]| where
+% $i$ is the last column number and $n$ is the number of columns given to
+% \env{paracol} environment.
+%
+%
+%
+% \switchcolumn[0]*[\section{Column Synchronization}\label{sec:sync}]
+% The \!\switchcolumn! command may also be followed by a `|*|' to
+% {\em\Uidx\sync{}e} columns. After you switch from a column to another by
+% \!\switchcolumn!|*| (or \!\switchcolumn!|[|$i$|]*|), all the columns are
+% vertically aligned at the bottom of the {\em deepest} one preceding the
+% command. For example, the previous section has three \!\switchcolumn!|*|
+% commands at which left and right columns are vertically aligned.
+%
+% The {\em starred} version of \!\switchcolumn! may have an optional argument
+% to specify a {\em\Uidx\mctext} whose bottom is the vertical alignment
+% points of the columns. For example, \!\section! commands in this manual are
+% given as optional arguments of\break\!\switchcolumn!|*| like;
+%\begin{Verbatim}
+% \switchcolumn*[\section{Basic Usage}]
+%\end{Verbatim}
+% The \env{paracol} environment may also start with a \mctext{} by
+% specifying it as the optional argument of \!\begin!|{|\env{paracol}|}|.
+% For example, at the beginning of this document, the author put;

+% \subsection{Figures and Tables}
+% As shown in this page, double-column figures\slash tables (or those
+% spanned multiple columns if you have three or more) may be placed by
+% \env{figure*} and \env{table*} environments as usual. A single-column
+% figure\slash table will be placed in the column in which you put
+% \env{figure} and \env{table}. For example, the contents of \env{figure}
+% environment in a \env{leftcolumn} environment is \emph{always} placed in a
+% left column. That is, even if the column of the \emph{current} page does
+% not have enough room to place the figure, it will not thrown to the right
+% column but will be placed in the left column of the next page\footnote{
+% 
+% Or some farther page if \LaTeX{} cannot solve the placement problem wisely.}.
+%
+% Another caution about float placement is that you have to be careful when
+% you try to put a top-float explicitly with |t|-option or implicitly without
+% placement option (i.e., |tbp| in most classes) and to \sync{}e columns.
+% The rule is as follows; after you \sync{}e columns in a page, the page
+% cannot have top-floats any more. When you \sync{}e columns,
+% \textsf{paracol} fixes a virtual horizontal line in the page as the
+% \sync{}ation barrier. Thus no top-floats cannot be added above the
+% line\footnote{
+% 
+% Even if you have enough space above, sorry.}.
+% 
+% Therefore, the author put two \env{figure} environments for the figures
+% shown in the previous page into the \env{leftcolumn*} and \env{rightcolumn}
+% environment for the previous section.
+%
+% \subsection{Footnotes and Marginal Notes}
+% Footnotes are also put at the bottom of the column in which \!\footnote!
+% commands and their references (like this\footnote{
+% 
+% An example of footnote.})
+% 
+% reside, as shown in page~\pageref{firstfootnote} and this page. Marginal
+% notes behave similarly like what you are seeing in the left margin of this
+% sentence\marginpar{
+% 
+% \raggedright An example of marginal note.}
+% 
+% and the right marginal note in this page\footnote{
+% 
+% If you have three or more columns, marginal notes of the second or
+% succeeding columns are placed just right of the column. Thus marginal notes
+% of non-leftmost and non-rightmost columns will appear in the space
+% separating columns rather than the margin of a page.}.
+%
+% \subsection{Local and Global Counters}
+% \UsageIndex{local counter}
+% \UsageIndex{global counter}
+% 
+% You probably found that the numbering of figures and tables is \emph{global}
+% while that of footnotes are \emph{local}. That is, the figure in the right
+% column of the previous page has number~3 following its left-column
+% counterpart Figure~2. The tables in the page are also numbered as 1 and 2
+% crossing the column boundary. However, the footnotes in each column have
+% their own numbering sequence. Moreover, the footnote numbers in left
+% columns are typeset in Roman font while those in right columns have italic
+% shapes. Similarly, sub-section numbering is local and the headings in right
+% columns have typewriter-face numbers.
+%
+% This happens because the author declared the counters \counter{figure} and
+% \counter{table} are \emph{global} in the preamble of this document by
+% saying;
+% \begin{itemize}\item[]
+% \Uidx{\!\globalcounter!}|{figure}|\\
+% \!\globalcounter!|{table}|
+% \end{itemize}
+% and do nothing about \counter{footnote} and \counter{subsection} counters.
+% By default, all the counters except for |page| are local to columns. The
+% value of a \lcounter of a column is saved somewhere when you leave the
+% column, and it is restored when you revisit the column. The initial value
+% of the \lcounter{}s are the value they have at
+% \!\begin!|{|\env{paracol}|}|. After you close the \env{paracol}
+% environment, the values of the left-most column are used for the rest of
+% your document until you start new \env{paracol} environment. On a
+% restart, \lcounter{}s in a column have the values they had at the last
+% \Endparacol, except for those which have been modified outside the
+% environment because the modifications are \emph{broadcasted} to
+% \lcounter{}s in all columns. You will see the effect of this
+% inter-environment counter value conservation in the footnote numbers in
+% the right column in page~\pageref{rightfootnote3} and
+% \pageref{rightfootnote4}.
+%
+% This broadcasting of a \lcounter{} value can be done explicity in
+% \env{paracol} environment by a command $\Uidx{\!\synccounter!}\Arg{ctr}$.
+% This command makes $\mathit{ctr}$ in all columns have the value of that in
+% the column in which the command appears. In addition, another command
+% \Uidx{\!\syncallcounters!} peforms this broadcasting for all \lcounter{}s.
+%
+% If you make a counter global by the command \!\globalcounter!, the
+% save/restore operations are not performed to the counter and thus it is
+% globally incremented by |\[ref]|\AB|stepcounter|
+% 
+% \SpecialIndex{\refstepcounter}\SpecialIndex{\stepcounter}
+% 
+% or commands such as \!\caption! and \!\section!. Note that the value of a
+% \gcounter depends on the place where it is incremented (or set) in
+% the \emph{source code} rather than where it appears in the output. Thus
+% if the author put a \env{table} environment here to increment \env{table}
+% counter, the right-column table at the bottom of page~\pageref{tab:right}
+% would be Table~3 because its \env{table} environment does not appear yet
+% in the source code. Note that, however, though the counter \counter{page}
+% is global as expected, its numbering is consistent among all columns as
+% far as you refer to the value by $\!\pageref!\Arg{label}$ and/or see the
+% values in table of contents, etc.
+%
+% Another counter which the author made global in this documnet is
+% \counter{section}. As explained in Section~\ref{sec:sync}, an optional
+% \mctext{} of \cswitch{} is considered as in the left-most
+% column. Since \!\section! commands in this document are always \mctext{}s,
+% so far, it seems unnecessary to make \counter{section} global because it is
+% incremented correctly in the left-most column. However, the stepping
+% \counter{section} has a side effect to reset its decendent counter
+% \counter{subsection} and referred from \!\thesubsection! command. Thus if
+% \counter{section} were local, the right-column sub-sections in
+% Section~\ref{sec:env} would be numbered as ``0.1'', ``0.2'' and ``0.3''
+% because the local value of \counter{section} would be zero. Moreover, the
+% right-column sub-sections of this section would be ``0.4'', ``0.5'' and
+% ``0.6'' because stepping \counter{section} local to left-columns would not
+% reset \counter{subsection} local to right-columns.
+%
+% You may give a local appearance to a counter \textit{ctr} for the $i$-th
+% column (zero origin) by a command;
+% \begin{itemize}\item[]
+% \Uidx{\!\definethecounter!}|{|\textit{ctr}|}{|$i$|}{|\textit{def}|}|
+% \end{itemize}
+% where \textit{def} is to be the body of the local definition of
+% |\the|\textit{ctr}. For example, the preamble of this document has the
+% following to give non-default defitions to \!\thefootnote! and
+% \!\thesubsection! for right columns.
+% 
+%\begin{Verbatim}
+% \definethecounter{footnote}{1}{%
+% \textit{\arabic{footnote}}}

+% \section{Closing \texttt{paracol} Environment and Page Flushing}
+% \label{sec:man-close}
+% The final example shown here is this single-column text which the author put
+% after \env{paracol} environment is closed. As you are seeing, \env{paracol}
+% environment can be finished at any vertical position in a page and can be
+% followed by ordinary single column texts.
+%
+% \begin{paracol}{2}
+% \begin{leftcolumn}
+% The environment may also be restarted anywhere you like as shown here.
+%
+% The last issue is to flush a page. The ordinary \!\newpage! command works
+% as you expect. If you say \!\newpage! in the left column in a page, the
+% contents following it will appear in the left column in the next page. Note
+% that this does not affect the layout of the right column.
+%
+% To flush all columns in a page, a command \Uidx{\!\flushpage!} is
+% available. This command in $i$-th column is almost equivalent to;
+% \begin{itemize}\item[]
+% \!\switchcolumn!|[|$i$|]*[|\!\newpage!|]|
+% \end{itemize}
+% but more robust\footnotemark.

+% \section{Reference Manual}
+% \subsection{Environment \texttt{paracol}}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\ENV{paracol}{\marg{num}\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}\par
+% The environment \env{paracol} contains \meta{body} typeset in \meta{num}
+% columns in parallel. The optional \meta{text} is put spanning all columns
+% prior to the multi-columned \meta{body}.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% The environment may start from \emph{any} vertical position in a page,
+% i.e., not necessary at the top of a page. The single-column contents of
+% the {\em\Uidx\spage} in which \beginparacol{} lies are naturally connected
+% to the beginning part of \meta{body} in each column, unless the page has
+% footnotes or bottom floats. If these kind of bottom stuff exist, they are
+% put above the multi-columned \meta{body}, or the multi-column \meta{text}
+% 
+% \UsageIndex{multi-column text}
+% 
+% if provided. The \emph{deferred} floats which have not yet appeared in
+% the starting page and thus will appear in the next or succeeding pages are
+% considered as multi-column floats given in the environment.
+%
+% \item
+% All \Uidx\lcounter{}s in all columns are initialized to have the values at
+% \beginparacol{} on its first occurence. On the second and succeeding
+% occurences of \beginparacol, the \lcounter{}s in each column have the
+% value at the last \Endparacol, unless they are modified after the
+% \Endparacol. If a counter is modified (or declared by \!\newcounter!)
+% after the \Endparacol, the local versions of the counter in all column
+% commonly have the value at \beginparacol.
+%
+% \item
+% The environment may end at \emph{any} vertical position in a page, i.e.,
+% the {\em\Uidx\postenv} being the single-column texts and others
+% following \Endparacol{} may not start from the top of a page. If any
+% columns don't have deferred single-column floats and the most advanced
+% {\em\Uidx\lcolumn} at \Endparacol{} has neither of footnotes nor bottom
+% floats, its bottom is naturally connected to the \postenv{}. If the
+% \lcolumn{} has these kinds of bottom stuff, they are put above the
+% \postenv{}, with a vertical skip of \!\textfloatsep! separating them if
+% bottom floats exist. All deferred single-column floats given in the
+% environment are flushed before the \postenv{} appears, possibly creating
+% {\em\Uidx\fcolumn{}s} only with floats. On the other hand, deferred
+% multi-column floats given in the environment are considered as deferred
+% single-column floats given just after \Endparacol.
+%
+% \item
+% The values of all \lcounter{}s in the leftmost column are used as the
+% initial values of them in the \postenv.
+%
+% \item
+% The \env{paracol} environment cannot be nested, or you will have an error
+% message of illegal nesting.
+%
+% \item
+% The commands \!\switchcolumn!, \!\synccounter!, \!\syncallcounters! and
+% \!\flushpage!, and environments \env{column}(|*|), \env{nthcolumn}(|*|),
+% \env{leftcolumn}(|*|) and \env{rightcolumn}(|*|) are {\em local} to
+% \env{paracol} environment and thus undefined outside the
+% environment\footnote{
+% 
+% Unless you dare to define them.}.
+% 
+% The command \!\clearpage! is of course usable outside and inside the
+% environment but its function inside is a little bit different from outside.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \end{description}

+%
+%
+% \subsection{Column-Switching Command and Environments}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Midx{\!\switchcolumn!}\oarg{col}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\Midx{\!\switchcolumn!}\oarg{col}\texttt{*}\oarg{text}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command switches columns from $i$ to $j$ where $i$ and $j$ is the
+% zero-origin ordinals of the columns from/to which we are leaving\slash
+% visiting respectively. Without the optional \meta{col}, $j=i+1\bmod n$
+% where $n$ is the number of columns given to \beginparacol, while
+% $j=\meta{col}$ with the optional argument. If the command (or
+% \oarg{col} if specified) is followed by a |*|, the \cswitch{} takes
+% place after \sync{}ation and, if specified, the optional multi-column
+% \meta{text} is put.
+% 
+% \Index{multi-column text}
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% Using \!\switchcolumn! in a \env{list} and other relative environments
+% such as \env{itemize} causes an ugly result without any error\slash
+% warning messages. This caution is effectual for all \csenv{}s
+% too.
+%
+% \item
+% If $\meta{col}\notin\LBRP0n$, an error is reported and, if you dare to
+% continue, you will switch to the leftmost column 0.
+%
+% \item
+% The \sync{}ation point is set just below the last line of the \lcolumn{}
+% in a page $p$, partly taking deferred floats into account. That is, all
+% deferred floats are put in the pages up to $p-1$ and at the top of $p$ if
+% possible. Then, if a non-\lcolumn{} has footnotes and/or bottom floats
+% and they cannot be pushed down below the \sync{}ation point, the point is
+% moved to the next page top.
+%
+% \item
+% In a page having one or more \sync{}ation points, stretch and shrink
+% factors of all vertical spaces, such as those surrounding sectionning
+% commands, are ingonred. Therefore, even if you specify \!\flushbottom!,
+% the page is typeset as if \!\raggedbottom! were specified.
+%
+% \item
+% After a sync{}ation point is set, top floats will not be put in the page
+% having the point any more and thus will be deferred to the next or
+% succeeding page.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+%
+%
+% \item[\ENV{column}{}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\ENV{column*}{\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}\par
+% The environment \env{column} contains \meta{body} for the column next to
+% what we are in just before \!\begin!|{|\env{column}|}|. The starred
+% version \env{column*} does the same after \sync{}ation and, if specified,
+% the optional multi-column \meta{text} is put.
+% 
+% \Index{multi-column text}
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% The environments are almost equivalent to;
+% \begin{quote}
+% |{|\!\switchcolumn!\quad\meta{body}\quad\CSIndex{par}|}|\\
+% |{|\!\switchcolumn!|*|\oarg{text}\quad\meta{body}\quad\CSIndex{par}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+% except for their first occurences which don't switch to the column 1
+% (i.e., right column if two-columned) but stay in the leftmost column 0.
+% More precicesly, \!\begin!|{|\env{column}(|*|)|}| does not make \cswitch{}
+% if it is not preceded by \!\switchcolumn! nor other \csenv{}s.
+%
+% \item
+% The \meta{body} of the environments cannot have \!\switchcolumn! nor other
+% \csenv{}s including \env{column}(|*|) themselves, or you will have an
+% error message of illegal use of command\slash environment.
+%
+% \item
+% Column-switching\index{column-switching} does not take place at
+% \!\end!|{|\env{column}(|*|)|}|. Therefore, texts following the
+% environments are put in the column in which \meta{body} resides until a
+% \cswitch{} commnad\slash environment is given.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+%
+%
+% \item[\ENV{nthcolumn}{\marg{col}}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\ENV{nthcolumn*}{\marg{col}\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}\par
+% The environment \env{nthcolumn} contains \meta{body} for the column
+% \meta{col}. The starred version \env{nthcolumn*} does the same after
+% \sync{}ation and, if specified, the optional multi-column \meta{text} is
+% put.
+% 
+% \Index{multi-column text}
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% The environments are equivalent to;
+% 
+% \begin{quote}
+% |{|\!\switchcolumn!\oarg{col}\quad\meta{body}\quad\CSIndex{par}|}|\\
+% |{|\!\switchcolumn!\oarg{col}|*|\oarg{text}\quad
+% \meta{body}\quad\CSIndex{par}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+%
+% \item
+% The \meta{body} of the environments cannot have \!\switchcolumn! nor other
+% \csenv{}s including \env{nthcolumn}(|*|) themselves, or you will have an
+% error message of illegal use of command\slash environment.
+%
+% \item
+% Column-switching\index{column-switching} does not take place at
+% \!\end!|{|\env{nthcolumn}(|*|)|}|. Therefore, texts following the
+% environments are put in the column in which \meta{body} resides until a
+% \cswitch{} commnad\slash environment is given.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+%
+%
+% \newpage
+% \item[\ENV{leftcolumn}{}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\ENV{leftcolumn*}{\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\ENV{rightcolumn}{}]\mbox{}
+% \Item[\ENV{rightcolumn*}{\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}\par\nobreak
+% The environment \env{leftcolumn} contains \meta{body} for the leftmost
+% column 0, while \env{rightcolumn} for the column 1 being the right column
+% in two-column typesetting. The starred versions \env{leftcolumn*} and
+% \env{rightcolumn*} do the same after \sync{}ation and, if specified, the
+% optional multi-column \meta{text} is put.
+% 
+% \Index{multi-column text}
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% The environments \env{leftcolumn}(|*|) are equivalent to;
+% 
+% \begin{quote}
+% \Env{nthcolumn}{\Arg{\texttt{0}}}\\
+% \Env{nthcolumn*}{\Arg{\texttt{0}}\oarg{text}}
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% while \env{rightcolumn}(|*|) are equivalent to;

+% \begin{quote}
+% \Env{nthcolumn}{\Arg{\texttt{1}}}\\
+% \Env{nthcolumn*}{\Arg{\texttt{1}}\oarg{text}}
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% \end{itemize}
+% \end{description}
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Commands for Counters}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Midx{\!\globalcounter!}\marg{ctr}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command declares that the counter \meta{ctr} is global to all columns.
+% An update of a \Uidx\gcounter{} in a column is seen by any other columns.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item
+% All column-local values of a descendant \lcounter{} of a \gcounter{} are
+% zero-cleared when the \gcounter{} is explicitly stepped by \!\stepcounter!
+% or \!\refstepcounter!, or implicitly by a sectioning command and so on.
+%
+% \item
+% The counter \counter{page} is always global but an explicit update of it
+% by e.g., \!\setcounter! in a non-leftmost column is not seen by other
+% columns and is canceled even for the column itself after a \cswitch{} or a
+% page break in the column. Therefore, if you want to make a \emph{jump} of
+% \counter{page}, it must be done in the leftmost column 0. Note that a
+% jump from a page $p$ to $q$ can be seen in other columns even if they have
+% gone beyond $p$ \emph{before} the column 0 makes the jump, as far as
+% \counter{page} having $q$ (or its successor) is referred to by \!\pageref!
+% or through \emph{contents} files such as |.toc|\footnote{
+% 
+% Direct reference to \counter{page} may give an inconsisent result, as you
+% might have in ordinary \LaTeX{} documents.}.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+%
+%
+% \item[\Midx{\!\definethecounter!}\marg{ctr}\marg{col}\marg{rep}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command defines |\the|\meta{ctr} being \marg{rep} for the local use in
+% the column \meta{col}. That is, |\the|\meta{ctr} in the column \meta{col}
+% acts as if it is defined by
+% \!\renewcommand!\Arg{\cs{the}\meta{ctr}}\Arg{\meta{rep}}.
+%
+%
+%
+% \item[\Midx{\!\synccounter!}\marg{ctr}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command \emph{broadcasts} the value of the \lcounter{} \meta{ctr} in
+% the column in which the command appears to the values in all other columns.
+%
+% \item[\Midx{\!\syncallcounters!}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command broadcasts the values of all \lcounter{}s in the column in
+% which the command appears to the values in all other columns.
+% \end{description}
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Control of Contents Output}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Midx{\!\addcontentsonly!}\marg{file}\marg{col}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command inhibits the output of contents information to
+% $\meta{file}\in\{|toc|,|lof|,|lot|\}$ from columns other than \meta{col}.
+% 
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \ifx\ONLYDESCRIPTION\undefined
+% \item
+% For example, this manual has \!\addcontentsonly!|{toc}{0}| to inhibit the
+% contents information output from \!\subsection! commands in
+% Section~\ref{sec:env} and~\ref{sec:float}, or the table should have
+% duplicated entries of sub-sections.
+%
+% \else
+% \item
+% For example, if this manual had the table of contents,
+% \!\addcontentsonly!|{toc}{0}| should be specified to inhibit the contents
+% information output from \!\subsection! commands in Section~\ref{sec:env}
+% and~\ref{sec:float}, or the table should have duplicated entries of
+% sub-sections.
+% \fi
+%
+% \item
+% It must be $\meta{file}\in\{|toc|,|lof|,|lot|\}$, or you will have an
+% error message of illegal type of contents file.
+% \end{itemize}
+% \end{description}
+%
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Page Flushing Commands}
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\Midx{\!\flushpage!}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command flushes pages up to the {\em\Uidx\tpage} in which the \lcolumn{}
+% resides. Deferred floats which can be put in the pages up to the \tpage{}
+% are also flushed.
+%
+% \item[\Midx{\!\clearpage!}]\mbox{}\par
+% The command does what \!\flushpage! does and then flushes all floats still
+% deferred if any. The deferred float flushing beyond the \tpage{} takes
+% place at first for single-column ones creating \fcolumn{}s for them, and
+% then for multi-column ones creating {\em\Uidx\fpage{}s} only with
+% multi-column floats, as \LaTeX's \!\clearpage! does outside \env{paracol}
+% environment.
+% \end{description}
