As part of this legal document set that I have been working to put
together, I needed side-by-side text. Looking at the wiki, I noticed
that there are at least 3 methods: columns, paragraphs, columnsets.
I only attempted two, but they seem to have quite different results. I
understood that columns were for simple cases. However, in my MWE
below, the \column command breaks the "columns" in unusual way.
One can also swap out the order of the paragraphs and columns methods;
the results are similar. Also, one can adjust the dorecurse command
with additional lorems to see where the "columns" land on the page.
Again results are similar.
Any suggestions?
Another question: I am trying to have the numbers in the \fillinrule
command to be hanging so that the rules are lined up. Is this possible,
and if so how best to do it?
advTHANKSance.
