Following the instructions in Help-Specific Manuals-Multicolumn Manual, I placed the ERT commands \begin{multicols} {2} and \end{multicols} around a body of text that I wanted to appear in double columns. The script doesn't run and the following message appears:
Errors: LaTex Error: Environment multicols undefined. LaTex Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}. Description: \begin{multicols}{2} Your command was ignored, etc. Now why would my command be ignored? Attached is a minimal example that reproduces the error.
