I recently found the pagecolumns manual ( http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf), and in several of the examples (including those for side floats and footnotes), the addition of a blank page after the end of the pagecolumns environment also seems to occur. So when the manual says, "We always start at a new page and end on a new one," does it mean that this is a feature of pagecolumns? And if so, is there any way to disable it? I have no problem with a page break after the end of the pagecolumns environment, but an empty page added after the break seems unnecessary. I checked for a wiki page on the \definepagecolumns command to get more information on its accepted inputs, but there doesn't appear to be a page for this command.
