Hi all,

I've created module quizzes for my Troubleshooting Course. I'd like to create 
a document containing the quiz questions, answers and a disertation on why 
the correct answer is correct. This document would be given to course 
instructors.

As I envision it, this would be a two column affair, with the left column 
being the question, the multiple choices, and the correct answer. The right 
column would have a disertation on why the correct answer is correct and 
possibly why the wrong answers are wrong.

This would be trivial to do on a web page, but for professional level work 
like this I'd prefer it be well typeset with LyX/LaTeX, and converted to PDF.

It would not be enough to be a 2 column book, because the disertation must be 
to the right of the question, always. If one is longer than the other, the 
shorter one would be vertically spaced to keep disertations together with 
their questions, choices and answers. I'd also like some sort of lines or 
shading to separate question/disertation pairs.

I spoze the easiest way to do it would be a longtable, but tables in LyX are 
just soooo ugly, I'm hoping there's a better way.

By the way, it would be acceptable to me to have this book be landscape in 
order to give more horizontal room for the two columns. However, the final 
PDF must easily print correctly on a printer, without any special scripts or 
machinations with Acroread.

Thanks
