Some ideas. Not exactly what you're looking for, but may solve the problem. 1. Use three pages: one main and two sub-pages. Create a main page with two columns. In each column, (:include :) a sub-page. Each subpage would be half the alphabet in a single column. Include links to edit the sub-pages. It wouldn't divide the list exactly in half, but it's a start. 2. If the concern is usability rather than length of the page, create several anchors. At the top of the page put an index: *[[PageName#AL|A to L]] *[[PageName#AL|A to L]] !!![[#AL]]Names A through L || the table || || !!![[#MZ]]Names M through Z || the table || || You can subdivide it as fine as you like.
