- paracol.dtx ....... main dtx for manual and implementation document
- man.dtx ........... source of Section 1 to 6 of user's manual

[How to "make"]

  % tex paracol.ins     # you'll have paracol.sty and paracol-man.tex

# to have user's manual (its PDF is included in the distribution)
  % latex paracol-man
  % latex paracol-man   # you need do it twice to make index correct.
  % makeindex -s gind.ist -o paracol-man.ind paracol-man.idx
  % latex paracol-man

# to have implementation document
  % latex paracol.dtx
  % latex paracol.dtx   # you need do it twice to make index correct.
  % makeindex -s gind.ist -o paracol.ind paracol.idx
  % makeindex -s gglo.ist -o paracol.gls paracol.glo
  % latex paracol.dtx

Note that if you want LaTeXing paracol-man.tex and/or paracol.dtx,
you need newvbtm.sty being also available in CTAN.

[Features]

+ "paracol" environment in which you may "switch" and "synchronize columns
  by \switchcolumn(*).

+ "column", "nthcolumn", "leftcolumn" and "rightcolumn" environments used in
  "paracol" to enclose texts to appear in a column.

+ Counters are "local" to each column in default but you may make some of
  them global to all columns by \globalcounter{<ctr>}.

+ \definethecounter{<ctr>}{<col>}{<rep>} to give <ctr> its <rep>resentaion
  specific to <col>-th column.

+ \addcontentsonly{<file>}{<col>} to allow contents output for <file> only
  from <col> (new for v1.00).

+ \columnratio{<r_0>,<r_1>,...} to control the width of each column rather
  than splitting columns evenly (*NEW* for v1.1).

Enjoy!
