[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 of almmost 300 pages(!!)
% 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).
- \columncolor[<mode>]{<color>}[<col>] to give the default <color> (with
<mode>) to the column <col> (new for v1.2).
- \footnotelayout{<layout>} to choose ordinary column-wise footnote
typesetting or page-wise typesetting to gather footnotes in all columns
(new for v1.2 and *NEW* for v1.3 with better API).
- \twosided{<t_1><t_2>...} to enable ordinary two-sided typesetting
(<t_i>=p), reversal of printing order of columns in even-numbered pages
(<t_i>=c), reversal of margins where marginal notes go to (<t_i>=m),
and/or mirroring background painting (<t_i>=b) ('m' and 'b' and better API
are *NEW* for v1.3).
- "paracol" environment has options for "parallel-paging" to typeset
parallel-columns in adjacent page pairs (*NEW* for v1.3).
- \thecolumn to let your macros know which columns they are in (*NEW* for
v1.3).
- \ensurevspace{<len>} to force a page break if a synchronization point
would be set leaving a small space less than <len> (*NEW* for v1.3).
- \setcolumnwidth{<s_1>,<s_2>,...}[<s'_1>,<s'_2>,...] to specify widths of
columns and column-separating gaps more detailedly than \columnratio
(*NEW* for v1.3).
- \marginparthreshold{<k>}[<k'>] to specify the minimum ordinal <k> of
columns whose marginal notes go to right margin (*NEW* for v1.3).
- \[no]coloredwordhyphenated to allow/disallow hyphenating the first word
following a coloring command (*NEW* for v1.3).
- \colseprulecolor[<mode>]{<color>}[<col>] to specify the color of rules
drawn in gaps separating columns, i.e., now they can be drawn (*NEW* for
v1.3).
- \backgroundcolor{<regino>}{<color>}[<mode>] to paint the background of a
<region> by <color> (*NEW* for v1.3).
- \globalcounter* to make all counters global (*NEW* for v1.32).
- Compatible with the new implemenatation of LaTeX (2015/01/10 or
later) now (*NEW* for v 1.32).
- \belowfootnoteskip to add space below non-merged pre-environment footnotes
(*NEW* for v 1.35).
- \definecolumnpreamble{<col>}{<pream>} to define the column preamble
<pream> for the column <col> (*NEW* for v 1.35).
- Emulation of \marginnote[<left>]{<right>}[<voffset>] given by marginnote
package (*NEW* for v 1.35).
- Bugs found in v1.3 and successors up to v1.34 has been fixed.
Enjoy!
