Works beautifully! I don’t know how I overlooked this. I used this all the time to look at multiple files (usually with 4 windows open) when I was writing code. In fact, I could really keep the reference in a separate file for simplicity. Thanks! -- Peter Davis www.techcurmudgeon.com

[O] Editing in two columns
Is there a way to edit with two columns displayed so I’m only editing and exporting the right hand column? I’m writing a parody of a poem, and I’d like to have the original in the left column for reference, to make sure the rhyme scheme, meters, etc. match, but then I just want to export the right column to html.
